He can also use the ISP's DNS server to point to his server, that is 
not a problem even if you use virtual domains with just one IP-address. 
However, I think it is much easier to use WebTen's built-in DNS server. 

You start creating a DNS entry in WebTen (see the user manual for 
details). Then, as soon as the DNS is set up locally, you can create 
the virtual host in WebTen. You need to indicate the DNS source in the 
host setup form. 

The next step is to  use a secondary DNS (your ISP's, for example) and 
have it just copy the entry from WebTen's DNS. Then you can activate 
the domain with your registrar and start to use it. 

Good luck, Christian.
