By default Apache will listen to all IPs that are on your server.  So if
you have a valid IP address that you can ping, then you can add it to the
httpd.conf and apache will direct traffic to that server for all requsts to
that IP.  If you don't have a Virtual defined for that IP, apache will send
it to the main server. Of course this method requires setting up DNS for
each Domain/IP address.

You should easily be able to do this.  All of my servers are a single
physical IP with many many virtual IPs.

I'm not sure that this will help or not, but here is an idea of what my
stuff looks like.  I manage all my conf files in a single directory so the
lower output is from a script that reads active files..so its a bit
bastardized, but the values are what is in the VirtualHost and ServerName
directives, respectively.

ifconfig -a | grep inet
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
        inet 4.11.24.49 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.19.242.255
        inet 4.11.24.182 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.183 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.184 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.185 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.186 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.187 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.188 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.189 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.190 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.191 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255
        inet 4.11.24.193 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 4.11.24.255

Virtual Host      ServerName
4.11.24.185       dns1.domain.com
4.11.24.186       dns2.domain.com
