I'm doing a win2k3 server like this, with a dozen or so host-header'd
domains, right now.  In MS DNS at least, you set up the host entry and
the * entry pointing to the shared IP.

Then in IIS6 you set up the host headers with fully qualified domain,
pointing to port 80.  I like to use two host headers for that:

domain.com
www.domain.com

I use the * host entry to signify 'www and anything else' although I
could just put in 'www' too.  If you want to add a second site, like

service.domain.com

then you add a new host in the existing dns record, pointing
specifically to "service" in the New Host dialog.  Then point the new
host to the shared IP.  Get yourself back into IIS and make up a new
web site whose only host header is

service.domain.com

And which points to port 80 (or whatever) and thats all there is to it.

To do a totally different domain, such as 'foo.com', you set up a
completely new DNS record, with the host and * entries pointing to the
shared IP.  Do the same as above for IIS host headers and you're done.
