Read the docs that come with the apache server concerning virtual
hosts.  The method used to figure out the incoming destination ip address
only works for tcp and unfortunately won't work for udp so things like 
named, xntpd, and kerberos all use worse kluges to work in the presence 
of multiple interfaces of any kind (ip aliases or real multiple interfaces.).
There is a web page out there (referenced in the web faq; I don't
remember the actual pointer except that it was written by one of
the programmer folks at cerfnet) with more detail for other servers
(cern or ncsa).
