Not sure about the docs to read, but this is how I have our companies mail
setup anyway. I have the main sites dns settings as below:-

    masterdomain.com           ->      IP Address                      (A
record)
    ns1.masterdomain.com    ->       IP Address                      ( A
record)
    IP Address/24                 ->      ns1.masterdomain.com     ( PRT
Record)
    mail.masterdomain.com    ->      IP Address                      (A
record)
    ns1.masterdomain.com    ->      mail.masterdomain.com    (MX Record)

Normal setup I think.

Then for the virtual sites I have:-

    virtualdomain.com             ->     IP Address                     (A
Record)
    www.virtualdomain.com    ->    IP Address                      (A
Record)
    www.virtualdomain.com    ->    mail.masterdomain.com    (MX Record)


I have not witnessed any problems with this setup yet. But if anyone knows
why I shouldnt do this then let me know before I get too many sites setup
this way!
