All this requires from DNS is for the names to resolve to the same
address. This can be accomplished by creating one or more aliases pointing
to an A record, or just simply defining multiple A records pointing to the
same address.

Beyond DNS, there is also some web server configuration that is necessary,
but that is beyond the scope of this list.
