I only breezed over this and haven't used it but if I remember correctly there's no need for IP aliasing to do this. You only need to add named entries for each virtual domain pointing to the same machine/IP.
Maybe this was a missinterpretation on my part but I believe using multiple IP's was an optional means of configuration to use if you have a computer downstream from the apache machine, serving as gateway for the subnet, to intercept calls on port 80 (or whatever port www is on for that IP). http://www.apache.org/docs/host.html If I'm mistaken please let me know.
