Before you start, GR, be aware that you basically need to do two things:

1. Set up your nameserver so that requests sent to www.rocketman.com (or
whatever the domain name is) get sent to the correct server.
2. The default Apache installation should not need very much tweaking.
Mostly you will just need to set up a <VirtualHost> block in your
httpd.conf file.

Happy hunting.
