Ok, thanks for the help Scott. I guess it is confusing to me. As long as I have a reverse DNS, it is compliant. My first thought was that the reverse DNS had to be for the same domain name.
I used the DNS report tool for my virtual domain, and indeed I no longer fail the reverse DNS test. This isn't so difficult after all, why doesn't everyone do it? :) Keep up the good work.
