You have to get InterNIC to delegate you both foo.com and bar.com.
You then maintain zone files for both of those zones.
Then it doesn't matter: you can do whatever you want. Think about:
---- zone foo.com:
$ORIGIN foo.com.
@ IN SOA dns1.mosquito.com. hostmaster.nic.mosquito.com. (
9601180 86400 14400 604800 86400 )
IN NS dns1.mosquito.com.
IN NS dns2.mosquito.com.
IN NS dns.off.site.backup.net.
;
@ IN MX 0 your.mail.hub.mosquito.com.
;
www IN A 206.205.132.10
---- zone bar.com:
$ORIGIN bar.com.
@ IN SOA dns1.mosquito.com. hostmaster.nic.mosquito.com. (
9601180 86400 14400 604800 86400 )
IN NS dns1.mosquito.com.
IN NS dns2.mosquito.com.
IN NS dns.off.site.backup.net.
;
@ IN MX 0 your.mail.hub.mosquito.com.
;
www IN A 206.205.132.11
---- zone 132.205.206.in-addr.arpa:
[...]
10 IN PTR www.foo.com.
11 IN PTR www.bar.com.
[...]
There really is no such thing as a "virtual" domain. There is only domain
or no domain. :-) The fact that "mosquito.com" is handling mail is irrelevant,
as is the fact that the A records are only alias interfaces on your Web
server.
