I always use a separate instance of httpd for mod_vhost_alias services and 
have those which require specific configuration running on a separate IP.

If you list the <VirtualHost...> instances before you list the 
mod_vhost_alias ones it may work but I've not actually tried it.

How many are there? If there are not that many maybe a simple standard 
configuration would be better suited to your needs. If you are dealing in 
thousands of sites though I'd recommend splitting them across two 
instances.
