This is an interesting question. I've looked at apache and dns but not found a
direct solution. Access to config files certainly would reveal these things,
but you are not likely to see them. It would seem that asking apache to tell
you what's there should be possible. Of course it's late and I'm tired so I
might not see the obvious, like netstat -na.
I think it's an intersting problem to solve. Only wished I could answer this
on better.

It used to be a very common practice as it saves them money. You paid
something like $80 for a class C (as an ISP, cost broken down from a class B)
back in the 90's. Of course back then the Internet had woken up to the scary
idea of running out of IP's.
But everything still cost money someplace. It makes a lot of sense for an ISP
to split up each IP. So I'm totally sure it's very very common.
