I'm going to be a little bit pedantic here but ;) Apache supports Virtual
Hosts, ie: with one server you can support multiple sites on *different* IP
addresses. *Named* Virtual Hosts is required to do multiple sites on the same 
IP address. One apache server can be configured to do both though. The 
difference in the config file is a simple line which tells Apache which IP 
address(es) are Named Virtual Hosts. 

[this doesn't really have anything to do with the thread]
