Ooops. Just found your original post.
Sounds like you want:
BindAddress *
ServerName static.ip.name
NameVirtualHost a.b.c.d
<VirtualHost a.b.c.d>
ServerName virtualname1.whatever.whatever
...
</VirtualHost>
etc...
The proper DNS entry will ensure that requests for the static IP go to that interface.
BindAddress has to be * in this case. Otherwise Apache will listen to only 1 IP (I think).

You probably don't need to make a main domain <VirtualHost> tag at all as long as your
DNS entries are correct.
I think you will need 1 set of VirtualHost tags for each domain going to the second IP,
though. I.e. multiple tags, unless you want all the domain names to point to exactly
the same thing.
