You set up BIND to own the domains, each in its own zone and have
the address that you want to use in the URL's point to the same IP Address
in the zone file.
You then go to the MMC and create the virtual Web site. HTTP clients
which support the HTTP 1.1 RFC's then send the host header which includes
the name of the host domain in the HTTP header. IIS 4.0 and later are
able to
interpret the host header and direct the request to the right virtual Web
site.
