You can have multiple domains with their own IP on the same box. All you do is
add IP's to the NIC. Ten years ago you were limited to 32 IP's on a NIC but
today I'm sure you don't have that barrier. Apache does not care what it is
you just have to tell it.
What you do if you are adding more IP's to eth0 so you say eth0:1..eth0:n etc.
Under KDE you have the Network Device Control, which let's you into the
Network Configuration where you click on New. Choose the NIC and add a new
IP. When it completes you can see the new connection.
This could be handy if you have more than one subnet on you LAN. For example I
got a cool VoIP/phone/IP tool, but it only worked on 192.168.0 which I don't
use. But by doing the above I could access it without loosing my normal
subnet connection.
