In a goggle search I found the folowing

Setting up Additional Virtual DNS Servers 

              It is possible to set-up a Virtual DNS server for each
unique IP on the server (you can have more
              than one VDNS set on the server). To create ns1 and
ns2.seconddomain.com (and on) Virtual
              DNS servers, follow these steps. 

                1.Add the domain, per the instructions above, to DNS.
Also, add ns1 and ns2 forward and
                   reverse records, using two unique IPs (not used for any
other VDNS).
                2.Change SOA configuration to use ns1 and
ns2.seconddomain.com as nameservers for
                   seconddomain.com. Also change it that way for any other
domains that will be using it (e.g.
                   ns1 and ns2.seconddomain.com would be the nameservers
for thirddomain.com as well, if it
                   was to use ns1 and ns2.seconddomain.com); you must do
this for any and all domains that
                   will be using that VDNS set as their nameservers. 
                3.Ensure that the IPs you are using for VDNS hosts are
first set-up as virtual web sites.
                   Otherwise, the IP will not be reachable: it must be
first set-up as a virtual site in order to be
                   "up."

The question now is:

Is there anyway other than creating more virtual sites to have the new set
ip IP addresses "up" and reachable ?
