Virtual Hosting requires no special configuration dns side, except 
pointing the domains to the correct IP address that your web server is 
listening on.

For example:

rtfm.com SOA
www   66.66.66.66 ; ip address of the web server in question

seconddom.com SOA
www   66.66.66.66 ; same ip address

these would point to something like (assuming NameVirtualHost *):
<VirtualHost *>
....
ServerName www.rtfm.com
....
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *>
....
ServerName www.seconddom.com
....
</VirtualHost>

You can even throw aliases in there, I like to name the server as the 
base domain, and alias the www

ServerName rtfm.com
ServerAlias www.rtfm.com rtfm.com

Virtual Hosting (aka name based hosting) used the name to see what 
virtualhost entry to be using, assuming proper web server configuration.
