Subject: Additional domain, how to do it ?

I need to host a second domain on my server (bsdi 2.0).
I have figured out how to accept an additional IP address
on my network interface
	ifconfig ef0 IP alias
	route add -host IP 127.0.0.1

Now I need to setup my name server (named) to recognize
this different domain.   However 'config_dns' is useless
for this as it only handles aliasing of host names,
not domain names.   All the reference manuals
I've looked in dont cover this , they only 
cover handling one domain per server.


I know that once I get this to work locally, 
I'm going to have to tell nic about it.
(I'm actually transfering 2 domains to my site,
the are already registered)

Any pointers ? Any clues ? 
I know this is possible somehow as several other
servers do this.  Please Help the Clueless !

Thanks,
