This is how i do mine and seems to work
pico -w /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
#Add the following line at the very end of the file, If you put it elsewhere
it seems to mess up
Include /etc/httpd/conf/include.conf

#Create the Include file if it does not exist
touch /etc/httpd/conf/include.conf

# Edit the file
pico -w /etc/httpd/conf/include.conf

#Add these lines for each domain you want to redirect
<VirtualHost 198.0.0.2>                   #your ip address
ServerName www.newdomain.com  # name of site being redirected
ServerAdmin admin
DocumentRoot /home/sites/SITEXXX?/web/name.of.directory.if .not.web
ServerAlias newdomain.com
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml       #comment out if you dont use SSI
AddType    text/html     .shtml            #comment out if you dont use SSI
</VirtualHost>

This is what I did for byrdpta.com
Which actually points to firstwebspace.com/domainholding

You do not need to copy all the alias stuff thats in httpd.conf
You will need the A records and MX records set up for the newdomain in the
dns control panel
