You can definitely have Apache server multiple virtual hosts across
different NICs and IP addresses.  Apache's virtual hosting syntax in the
config file is well-defined for this type of setup.  You will need to
look at the Listen directive and the VirtualHost directives.    Don't
try to run multiple httpd daemons -- that will make everything MUCH too
hard!

Begin with this documentation:
	http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/
You will be running a combination of Name-Based Virtual Hosts and
IP-based virtual hosts it sounds like.

Another thing you could look into is the Webmin tool, with the
Virtualmin plugin.  It is supposed to automatically set up virtual host
situations like this.  Though I haven't worked with it myself, I've
heard good things.
