Simple question that doesn't let me sleep :)

[Peter Rose]

Yes,

That's pretty straightforward - 

You set up the nameserver on your machine to handle your ip addresses
and your main domain name, then you alias all the virtual hosts onto
that using the VirtualHosts directive in Apache.

Once you're set up, you'll be registering your own domain names with
your own nameserver addresses.
