Ah, two IP addresses can be used to support a virtual host under Apache. Suppose
you have mydomain.com setup to listen to ip address x.x.x.x and you want to setup
mycompany.com on the same machine, that can be accomplished with ip aliasing.
First it has to be selected when compiling the kernel, then you can use
linuxconf(or the tool of your choice) to setup two ip addresses on the same nic.
Then you configure apache with a Virtual Host and voila.
