Hello,

Right click Web Sites in IIS Manager, and select New Website. Follow the
wizard, and you will have a second website within seconds.

"Would this require another web server?"

No, IIS 6 can host several websites on one server. You must however have a
way to distinguish them. Host headers is one common way, adding IPs to the
machine is another. You also have the option to run the websites on
different ports. For host headers, see www.visualwin.com

Now, this is not all you need to do. Your client must also be able to find
this new website, which involves DNS. So you must also contact the people
taking care of the name server for domain.com, and ask them to add a record
for the new domain you have created.
