Then you need to create A records for the names, and register them with 2
new IP's (i'm pretty sure, not totally certain, that you can't share an IP
with 2 different nameserver names )

after than, when creating records in the zone, you just need the NS
records to point to the correct 2 names....don't need anything spevial for
virtual sites, and the raq listens on all the IP addresses with the
nameserver unless you tell it not to anyhow...

As usual...the usual caveats about not having any redundency with 2
nameserver addresses running into the same instance of bind....

The only odd thing is the raq will probably insist on adding it's hostname
as a primary nameserver, you might have to argue with it a little to make
it stop....irritating behaviour...of course, the Raq4 may have other
pecular idiosyncracies...

The only other catch is that the IP's need to be used by a vsite to enable
the interface....
