How does that work if there's multiple domains being hosted from the

meaning the rest of the domains are out of luck?

Not at all, there are plenty of domains that are on the same IP, way more than you would think. ARIN has gotten really hard to get IP space from and now a lot of ISP's and hosting companies will serve the multiple domains from the same IP, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this at all....
no to mention the fact that most business' have multiple doamins for the same business...

There's nothing wrong with a single IP having multiple PTRs, though it
is rare to see it.

not so much... look again...

I'm currently using the same machine to host a couple of different of
my own domains, simply because its easier to set up multiple domains
on a single computer than it is to set up multiple computers. For
example, learningtosee.org and czeiszperger.org don't get much
traffic, so it didn't make sense to give them separate computers. I
suppose that they could have been set up with virtual IP addresses...

Don't sweat it...
