damn I can't type a complete sentence...

OK, if you have 5 IPs and you want to have 5 domains, put them on
seperate IPs, if you have 1 IP and 5 domains, use the NameVirtualHost
and use the 1 IP for all 5.  If you have say 2 IPs and you want 3
domains on one IP and 2 on the other IP, you would have to use more than
one instance of httpd (apache).  But if you just have 3 IPs and 5
domains, you can have 1 domain point to the first IP, the next domain
point to the next IP and have the last 3 domains point to the last IP
(and use the NameVirtualHost on that IP) without running more than one
instance of apache.

Does that make sence? Or better yet, does that answer the question/solve
the problem?
