there are cases when having two reverse records is misleading

it's nearly always misleading and results in randomness on the receiving server which name get logged and if A/PTR matches

normally you should always have:

* IP with *one* PTR
* the A-Record for the PTR matches
* smtp_helo_name of your MTA matches the same name

Even this is not required. In fact, requiring this breaks SMTP RFC.
The only requirement on helo name is that host must exist and be canonical,
which means it has to point to A or AAAA record

should != required
it's best practice

anyways, with 2 PTR records for the same IP on servers with http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#reject_unknown_client_hostname you play lottery because one time it's logged as unknown and the other time as matching, the unknown cases would trigger reject_unknown_client_hostname
