Have you read this:
   <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html>

Basically, as the above says, it's just:

     NameVirtualHost *

     <VirtualHost *>
     ServerName www.domain.tld
     DocumentRoot /www/domain
     </VirtualHost>

     <VirtualHost *>
     ServerName www.otherdomain.tld
     DocumentRoot /www/otherdomain
     </VirtualHost>

If your configuration isn't working, run Apache -S to get a config
test, and post the result and your httpd.conf...
