I don't know what version of Apache youo're using, but this looks very
much to me like what Apache 1.3 and up call "IP Intensive Virtual Hosts",
in essence a way to bind each hostname to a different IP address as far 
as Apache is concerned. I do not have a configuration where I can experiment
with that easily, but I've read the Apache docs and they appear to be very
clear on that score.  If you need help with examples, please let me know and
I can suggest some tests.
