You seem to suggest here that you would prefer not to have multiple IP
addresses per machine. (Though I might be reading it incorrectly)
One of the requirements for multiple IPs per machine at present is SSL.
Apache does not at present support Virtual hosting for SSL by name, only
by IP address. Though I do not know if there are any plans to change
this in the near future.
