Two ways:

[1] create three virtual sites,
    1 daveiscool.com               <-- the "real" site
    2 daveissleepingonthejob.com
    3 davesraq.com

in the directory for sites 2 and 3 (/home/sites/siteXXX/web/), place a file
called ".htaccess". In the file, put one line:
   Redirect / http://daveiscool.com/


[2] create one virtual site. edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file. see
where it says:

<VirtualHost XXX.XXX.XX.XX>
...
ServerName www.daveiscool.com
ServerAlias daveis.cool.com
## ADD NEW LINES HERE
ServerAlias daveissleepingonthejob.com
ServerAlias www.daveissleepingonthejob.com
ServerAlias davesraq.com
ServerAlias www.davesraq.com
## END NEW LINES
...
</VirtualHost>

then restart apache (/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd.init restart).
