It's not clear what you're asking about: how to set up the DNS or how to
set up the web server?

Since this is the BIND newsgroup, I'm only going to address the DNS issue;
you should ask in comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix about how to configure
Apache.

Since you want to be primary and secondary for these domains, you should
have a "master" statement on the primary server and a "slave" statement on
the secondary server.  I'm not sure what you mean by "as they would be part
of my address .... not possible".  If you're parking the domains on your
web servers, then they *are* part of your address space.  You may not need
to give them each a different IP address -- if you use hostname-based
virtual hosting, they can all point to the same address.
