First off.. multiple web sites per single IP is called "Name Based Hosting" 
and is a part of the HTTP 1.1 standard (i.e. been around a while).

Here's a basic example of the apache httpd.conf section showing how this might 
be used..

	NameVirtualHost 10.1.1.1
	
	#
	# VirtualHost example:
	# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
	# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
	# server name.
	#
	#<VirtualHost *:80>
	#    ServerAdmin webmaster at dummy-host.example.com
	#    DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
	#    ServerName dummy-host.example.com
	#    ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
	#    CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
	#</VirtualHost>
	
	<VirtualHost 10.1.1.1>
	    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
	    ServerName mydomain.com
	</VirtualHost>
	
	<VirtualHost 10.1.1.1>
	    DocumentRoot /home/bob/web/html/
	    ServerName example.com
	    ServerAlias *.example.com
	    CustomLog /home/bob/web/logs/example.com-access_log common
	</VirtualHost>
	
But as the other guy said... look at your apache installs build in docs:
	http://127.0.0.1/manual
(from the apache server locally of course)

and specifically for name based hosting (more than one site per IP):
	http://127.0.0.1/manual/vhosts/name-based.html
