Do you need multiple ips? I'd recommend using virtual hosts under apache, you
use only 1 IP and let apache handle the virtualness.

I do not know how many hosts you want to offer, but there is a little in the
kernel on open file descriptors, which I ran into before I went with apache
virtual hosting.
