Hi,
for name based virtual hosts, a web server uses the request Host header
to decide which virtual host to dispatch to.
When you use IP based virtual hosts, you need to set them up to listen
on different ports and/or ip addresses. If you don't, apache has no way
of knowing which virtual host is the right one, just like you describe.
