I did this but I have trouble with sendmail, only mail that I send from the
server goes right, but mail delivery from outside the server, don't get
delivered, always an error that point that MX redirects virtual.com to
domain.com machine and a Local configuation error show.

I include in /etc/named.boot an entry for the new domain, it was just a
copy of the main domain, only changed in the part that point to the other
IP address. With this it work all right with web, but not with mail, I
changed sendmail.cw to include the new virtual domain.

Please help

This is where do not work right, work within the server, but not receiving
