I have studied on this one and found the following in creating virtual host on your apache server. Perhaps, you can have a look at following :

The port of Apache should listens to port 80

Listen 80

It should also listen to all virtual host requests on all IP addresses

Listen for
NameVirtualHost *:80

< VirtualHost *:80 >
DocumentRoot /www/example1
ServerName www.example1.com

# Other directives here

< /VirtualHost >

< VirtualHost *:80 >
DocumentRoot /www/example2
ServerName www.example2.org

# Other directives here

< /VirtualHost >

You may replace * with the IPs

You can park additional domain like www.example5.com on www.example1.com by adding one line in the virtual host entry of www.example1.com

ServerAlias www.example5.com

Now restart httpd service.
