I know it seems ludicrous but this is an appliance.
Normally you would just add the intefaces ing network-scripts.
But since its a raq go ahead and make virtual sites, just don't use them
use host names www, ns1, ns2 all with same domain name amd with the
ipaddresses you want.

Don't forget to update your registrars database with the new nameservers
once you have them running
