I have 2 zones called lab.domain.com and library.domain.com. Both zones
have a (same as parent folder) and * records that points to the same IP
address.

When you perform an NSLOOKUP on the IP address only the lab.domain.com is
listed. Is there a way to make both show up with NSLOOKUP and/or can I
reverse it so that only library.domain.com is listed.

I was thinking that lab.domain.com zone was created first and is the reason
why its record shows up and not the library.domain.com. I haven't found any
documentation to confirm.

Thanks.

Unlike a DNS name, which can have multiple A records, an IP address will
only display 1 (PTR) record. There may be multiple entries in the zonefile,
but I think you are correct that only the first is used.

Assuming you are using DNS dynamic updates, view the properties
(double-click it) of the A record that you want to have associated to the
PTR and place a check in "Update associated pointer (PTR) record. Make sure
the other A record is unchecked. If you aren't using dynamic updates, then
just delete the PTR that you don't want to use.
