You don't do that, you have one PTR record to the FQDN of the server for the primary Domain on your ZCS server. You could have found the answer with an internet search such as this: https://www.startpage.com/do/dsearch?qu ... ge=english ... and specifically this answer: https://serverfault.com/questions/61870 ... ecommended

It would help if you had actually described in detail what you were trying to do and why you think it was necessary.

I know that, I am inquiring as to how you deal with a mail server that does have 2 fqdn.
I thought there was an rfc, that prohibits more than 1 fqdn per ip.
Here is the ip. 198.160.191.65 ( mailserver trying to send email to a domain I host)

as I have zimbra doing a reverse lookup, it rejects the incoming email, as the 2nd fqdn is the correct answer.

You would probably have to whitelist that IP as described here:

Which isn't ideal if that host is actually a source of spam in addition to legitimate email.
