I think you need to use the Listen directive to specify that the
host listens on all the IP's except the one you want left free.

There's a page here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/ip-based.html

that speaks to that.  In particular, look where it says:

"It's only possible to Listen to the "wildcard" address, or to specific 
addresses. So if you have a need to listen to a specific address for 
whatever reason, then you will need to listen to all specific addresses. 
(Although one httpd could listen to N-1 of the addresses, and another 
could listen to the remaining address.)"


HTH.
