There's no such thing as a virtual domain. If you are talking about a
Web server those are virtual http servers which is something totally
different.

If you are hosting all of these http pages on the same system you can
set up one file with the A record in it using the
@  IN A 1.2.3.4
syntax plus the usual SOA, NS records and then in the config file
just create zones for the specific addresses and point them all to the
same file. I do this all the time.
