Hopefully this will help:

The way mine is set up is that I have two domains pointing to the same
IP.  I converted mine to your case.  The way it stands, 
http://www.mysite.org will deliver the pages in /usr/local/httpd/htdocs,
http://123.123.100.100 will also deliver the pages in
/usr/local/httpd/htdocs, but http://www.othersite.org will deliver the
pages in /usr/local/httpd/other_site_htdocs.
