the zone-file for your domain will have an 'A' record in the form:
IN A 222.222.222.222
to direct other hostnames to the same address, you can just configure them
as CNAME records in the following form:
www IN CNAME yourdomain.com
... of course this assumes the zone is "yourdomain.com" and the above A
record is in the zonefile for that domain. Sorry if this is unclear; I've
been up for about thirty hours. If you are loading vdomains on your web
server, and you have the thing loading name-based vdomains, you must be
sure that you have a server definition for www.yourdomain.com as well as
yourdomain.com.
