For domain name testing the domains example.{org,net,com} have been
reserved.  Choosing alex.com, although not owned by anybody at the
time of writing this, is not the right way to setup your DNS server
(IMO).

Perhaps, the "views" feature of BIND9 might give the solution you are
looking for:

Two different FQDNs resolving to a single IP is allowed in BIND9.
How the FQDNs get resolved depends on your BIND configuration.

Suggest you read up BIND docs, configure it and test all the perms and
combos of FQDNs before you start using the server in conjunction with
Apache.

Please do post the solution that works for you.
