If so, Ubuntu should load them in alphabetical order, so which ever vhost is loaded first for each IP will be the default one. Common practice is to rename the symlinks in /etc/apache/sites-enabled to something like ###-NAME (where ### is the order you want the vhosts loaded 000,001,002, etc). That will force (at least the Ubuntu-distributed version of) apache to load the vhosts in that order. As long as your "This is a shared IP site" vhost is the first one loaded, it will be shown as the default site. You might need to explicitly bind the vhost to every IP address. Something like "*:80" won't do it. I have a setup like this and it works really well. - Y
