We always

	ifconfig ed0 111.222.333.444 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias

Using the ethernet (sustitute the appropraite device name) eliminates
the need for the arp -s, no big deal.  The netmask is important though,
add that in order to create a host route.

Examples for a domain I just added, vcb.net.  Change names and
IP addresses to match yours. :)

In named.boot add a line for the new domain

	primary		vcb.net		db.vcb.net

or if you have moved to 8.8.1 and named.conf (which you should)

zone "vcb.net" {
	type master;
		file "db.vcb.net";
};


In /etc/namedb (or wherever you have you named zone files) add a
new zone file for the domain

@   IN SOA  ns.BEACH.NET.   hostmaster.ns.BEACH.NET. (
		1997102902  ; Serial
		302400      ; Refresh after 48 hours
		3600        ; Retry
		604800      ; Expire after 1 week
		86400 ) ; Minimum TTL 48 hours

		IN NS   ns.BEACH.NET.
		IN NS   cedb.DPCSYS.COM.

vcb.net.    IN  MX 10 mail.BEACH.NET.
www         IN  A 206.16.184.154


In your httpd.conf file, /usr/local/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf by default,
add a virtual host section

<VirtualHost 206.16.184.154>
ServerAdmin webmaster@vcb.net
DocumentRoot /usr/websites/vcb
ServerName www.vcb.net
ErrorLog logs/vcb/error_log
TransferLog logs/vcb/access_log
RefererLog logs/vcb/referer_log
RefererIgnore www.vcb.net
</VirtualHost>

We add new domains via scripts running on the various servers, mail, DNS
apache.  I use IP addresses in the VirtualHost section since there's no
guarantee (in our case) that the DNS will be updated before the web
server.  Apache will die if you use a name and it cannot resolve the
name.

Remeber to change the names, IP addresses and pathnames to reflect
your system :)

Change the host IP address in the DNS zone file for that domain.
