Default no control over reverse DNS - vhost on forward within postfix

Hiya,

I have recently aquired a static address but have no control over the
reverse zone file. Given that antispam software will reject mail if it
cannot match the reverse lookup of the MTA, is it possible to setup
postfix with the 'correct' reverse, but make a 'virtual' host the one I
actually require.

For example, my real ip = 10.1.1.1 / reverse 1.1.1.10.in-addr.arpa, A
record = myispsfixedip.bigtelco.com. on bigtelco.com DNS server.

In postfix can i put the 'reverse' and the A record entry as above,but
have mail01.knipmeyer.co.uk within it, to which i can put in my zone
file for knipmeyer.co.uk, knipmeyer.co.uk. IN MX
mail01.knipmeyer.co.uk.
mail01.knipmeyer.co.uk IN A 10.1.1.1 .

I hope this makes sense and appreciate any input :)
Many thanks in advance,

Alan K.
