You'll need to be at the machine for the first part of this.

1. Make sure that you have the DNS server called ns1.ourdomain.com in the
MOSXS Network settings.

2. Log out and restart the machine.

3. In the iTools Server pages (www.ourdomain.com/itools_admin), click on
"DNS"

Set up each of your domains in the primary zone with your IP address.

4. You "should" have a secondary DNS server that has your domains listed in
it (this will be on another box, probably at your ISP, they'll probably
charge you for this as well). Create a secondary zone host that has the name
(ns2.myisp.com or if you're running another box with DNS services on it,
ns2.ourdomain.com) of the secondary server and it's IP address.

5. Now go to "Virtual Hosts" and create each of your virtual hosts and make
any adjustments as well (such as individual script aliases).

6. Lastly go to the "Users" panel and create the logins for each of your
domains.

You should be good to go.
