The basic story about virtual hosting :

- A lot of names point to the same IP. The reverse is usually some nice
  name, but is not an issue
- The server finds out what the clients want, with HTTP the Server header.

In DNS :

You make an A record for each virtual host to some generic IP.

In the zone files :


www.somedomain.com	A	x.x.x.x

where x.x.x.x is the IP the server listens on (the server that does
virtual domains that is).
