Andreas,
If you're talking about a situation like aaa.com and aaa.net, (rather than
what you have written down) where they'd both be pointing to the main
website, here's what I do:
Add a site in the Site Management for the 'main' site that everything else
will point at (aaa.com).
If you're on a RaQ4, in the 'Web Server Aliases' field, just add in aaa.net
and www.aaa.net (and of course www.aa.com).
If you're on a RaQ3, I believe that there isn't a 'Web Server Aliases' field
(but could be wrong about that)... so you'd have to go into the httpd.conf
and just add a Server Alias line in aaa.com's block:
Server Alias  aaa.com, www.aaa.com, aaa.net, www.aaa.net
Then make sure you add 'A' records for both the .com and .net versions in
your DNS Parameters (Control Panel) - also MX records for both if the client
wants to receive mail for both the .com and .net versions.

I hope that's what you *meant*. If you actually mean aaa.com and bbb.com
that are totally unrelated to each other and would each be their own site
(not one pointing at the other), then add them both individually in Site
Management and the DNS Parameters.

Hope that helps.
I'm not sure if domain pointers in DNS actually count towards the limit. I
think the limit might be a 'suggested' figure, as I've been told that there
was a RaQ in existence that had 600 sites on it - just to see if it could
take it. Cruel and unusual punishment, but the RaQ was doing okay.  (Slow,
but okay!)  :)
