DNS doesn't care.  The physical layer doesn't care.  TCP/IP doesn't 
care.  Just point the two different domains, via A records, to the same IP#.

The apache software cares.  If the site is a name-based site, then apache 
will try to determine which page to show based on the site's domain 
name.  If it can't find the domain name, it'll show the default page for 
that IP#.  If the site is IP# based, apache won't care either.
