reverse DNS

HERE IT GOES
i can no longer send mail to AOL they told me that i do not have reverse dns setup
and will not be able to sent mail to them untill i set it up
here is where im confused
when mail goes out of my network aol is picking up my firewalls ip adress  not my mail server
so do i set up a pointer and a A record to my firewall for reverse dns since this is what they seeing on their end
i allready have an a record and an mx record setup for my mail server
ex.. A record......mail1.helpme.com  200.100.50.10
    MX record......mail1.helpme.com  200.100.50.10
do i setup this?
    A record......mail1.helpme.com  200.100.50.1 (FIREWALL)
   POINTER  .....mail1.helpme.com  200.100.50.1 (FIREWALL
can you have 2 A records with the same name that point to different ip addresses as the example above
