Here is what happens:
dedicated-deb-17boom:/etc/apache2# ping 'anotherIP'
PING 'anotherIP' ('anotherIP') 56(84) bytes of data.

It seems to be a configuration problem in my side, here is what I
have:
dedicated-deb-17boom:/etc/apache2# ifconfig

Sam, all your help and input is greatly appreciated
earlier, before your post, after reading some of the documentation for
apache2, I had written in ports.conf:
Listen 'mainIP':80
Listen 'anotherIP':80
and as a result:
Starting web server: Apache2(99)Cannot assign requested address: make_sock:
could not bind to address 'anotherIP':80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
It tells me that if eth0 is already using port 80, eth0:0 is not
going to be able to use it too. May be I should have started aliasing
eth0:1, don't know.

apache is working perfectly with the 'mainIP', the trouble is with the
second, now I have reverted to only
Listen 80
in ports.conf to maintain the main server running until the problems
is solved.
