Well, in order to create these virtual hosts and have people resolve to
them from outside your network, you have to have the domains in question
registered to use your nameservers. Aliases for other zones would not
usually interfere with the zone the ISP controls. You just configure the
zones with SOA, NS, and CNAME records pointing to the hostname that is
in your real zone, or simply using A records with the address of the
webserver.
