Do you mean you *registered* this domain? I'm not sure what you mean by
"pointing".

So, is this a reverse zone (which maps addresses to names) or a forward
zone (which maps names to addresses)? PTR's are reverse records, but I've
never heard anyone refer to a reverse zone as "virtual" before. So I'm
confused what you're trying to do here.

You wouldn't be able to successfully run an Internet web server or
nameserver with an address like that.

Could you possibly specify the name of the domain so we could look at it
and get an idea of how it is set up?
