Ok, this is the part where you're losing me -

This is where I lose you, because for example, if I have 1.domain.com,  
2.domain.com, 3.domain.com, 4.domain.com, 5.domain.com, I can define  
VirtualHost containers for each of those, use the ServerName directive  
in each and every one of those containers, and only have one IP on the  
box, and it will work fine, I just need a NameVirtualHost directive  
defined for that IP. There's absolutely no need at all to employ IP  
aliasing (unless https is also going to be involved)
