I can't tell for apache 1.* as I'm using apache 2, but if you intend using
apache 2 you should check out /etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/* and httpd.apache.org
documentation on virtual hosts.

I think you want to use name based virtual hosting. This means you have one ip
for your server and multiple domains pointing to your server.

You'll have to include vhosts.conf in apache2.conf by uncommenting one line.
Then setup your vhosts in vhosts.conf and you're done. At least I think this
was everything I needed to do.
