There are several different areas that you need to set up.

On RedHat Linux you will need to do the following:

in /etc/named.conf you will need to create a zone entry for your domain.

zone "example.com" IN {       type master;    file "example.com";   allow-update { 192.168.0.1; localhost; }; }

Change the IP Address 192... to your server IP and example.com to your domain name.

Then in /var/named you will have to create a Zone file

$TTL 86400
@               IN      SOA     ns.yourserver.com. 
sysadmin.yourserver.com. (
                        2007120301 ;
                        3600 ; refresh
                        900 ; retry
                        1209600 ; expire
                        86400 ; default_ttl
                        )
example.com.     IN      MX      10      mail.example.com.
mail            IN      A       192.168.0.1
@               IN      NS      ns.yourserver.com.
@               IN      NS      ns1.yourserver.com.
home          IN      A       192.168.0.1
secure        IN      A       192.168.0.1
;virtual domain information
ftp             IN      A       192.168.0.1
@             IN      A       192.168.0.1
www         IN      A       192.168.0.1

After you have your Zone files then you will need to add an entry into your httpd.conf

On my server it is located at /etc/httpd/conf (it may be somewhere else on your server)

Here is the VirtualHost information

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.1:80>
ServerAdmin sysadmin@yourserver.com
DocumentRoot /domains/example.com
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
ErrorLog /domain/example.com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /domains/example.com/logs/access_log combined
ErrorDocument 404 /oops/404.html
ErrorDocument 500 /oops/500.html
</VirtualHost>

After you have all of the info entered then you will have to restart your named and httpd
