If he wants the new domain to resolve to the primary domain for the
server you can just have the A record point to the same IP. If it needs
to resolve to a virtual host you need to take an extra step and add a
ServerAlias directive (assuming apache) with the new domain name to the
virtual host block for the existing virtual host. If it is a separate
virtual host all together you need to add a new virtual host container
and associated directives. Again, assuming we're talking Apache here.
