	Yup.  If you set up the configuration file correctly, Apache can 
serve a virtually unlimited number of domains from the same single IP 
address.  There is no need at all to set up IP-based virtual hosting.

	However, this is an Apache question, and you should be looking at 
their website, posting questions regarding it to their mailing lists 
& newsgroups, etc....  See <http://www.apache.org/> for more 
information on it.
