If the process goes:

1) User types "זרו.com"
2) Browser decides this is not an URL, and sends it to RealNames
3) RealNames translates to "bq--aerasefbvert.com"
4) RealNames sends "bq--aerasefbvert.com" to browser
5) Browser looks up  in the DNS, getting 1.2.3.4
6) Browser sends query to 1.2.3.4, with Host: header saying
  "bq--aerasefbvert.com"

then virtual hosts will work.

Exactly what RealNames does is still a matter for investigation.
