You are not dedicating an IP to each www.<x>.com, so Apache has no choice but to use non-IP virtual hosting which does not work with older clients. If you want Apache to use IP-based virtual hosting, which works with older clients, then you need to give each domain a seperate IP. Having a seperate IP for <x>.com does nothing for www.<x>.com, which is what you are telling the webserver to use.
