I'll assume you've already created the sites with the same ip address ; having "enabled web access by domain" for both sites.
(by the way apache will automatically be configured for the domain name so no tweeking necessario)

then in the dns consul:-

1) click add "A" record
2) For 1st enter:-  host name | domain name | ip address.
3) save changes
4) For the next site create another "A" :- host name | domain name | ip address (yes even if its the same IP.)
5) You may have to set up reverse address records (PTR) depends on your ISP if its up to you then make the reverse records one of
your sites on that particular ip address. (Remember you only need to have 1 PTR record set up for each IP address!!!).

Always remember to save changes .
That should do it

If you want to have say "domain.com" as well as "hostname.domain.com" just add another "A" record for that particular domain without
host specified. Theres already the alias in the apache ready and waiting (SERVERALIAS) in the http.conf file for domain.

Its also a good idea to tidy up your SOA for each domain as the script leaves things out or not as you might like to see things.
