make a virtual site in the site settings, then do up the DNS records for it as usual. Put it on its own dedicated IP address. Then, for the other 3 domains, *just* make DNS records (A record for domain2.com, A record for www.domain2.com, and MX record) and point them at that dedicated IP. You could probably also do this by doing all sorts of editing to httpd.conf but I think it would work the way I described above.
Yeah, this is a good way to do it and preserve the domain's email capabilities for all four domains. BUT David needs that IP address to assign to the sites. You could also just do a set of soa records without a site (again, you need the specific IP) or just hack the httpd.conf file to make those domains aliases of the receiving site (works even with name-based hosting) but those two latter solutions would not permit email service. On the Raq, you need an actual site for that. So you're right, this is probably the best way to do it -- follow Carrie's advice, David. :-)
