No, if you have a LAN and want to resolve the IPs you use therein, you
set up a primary for this zone. This is like your ISP having a
primary zone for the IPs it uses.

Hmm. I thing you read the solution to a totaly unrelated problem.

Please describe your home setup (one or more hosts, connection to the 
internet, IPs used, hostname --fqdn etc.) and what you want the final
setup to look like.

Virtual hosting is nothing you usually do behind a small dialup
connection.

I can't help you with sendmail, but maybe someone else can. Eitherway, 
we get a better picture of what you want to do.

BTW: you should consider dumping sendmail in favor for exim. It is
much easier to understand, and has extensive and readable
documentation.
