Isn't this multihoming, rather than Virtual Hosting?  AFAIK, Virtual 
Hosting is one IP address with multiple A records:

192.168.125.240 IN      A               neac1.neaclinic.com
neac2                   IN      CNAME   neac2.neaclinic.com [1]
etc

The "virtual" comes from the fact that if a request is made for 
neac2.neaclinic.com,  the webserver at 192.168.125.240 receives the http 
header with a request for neac2 and serves the correct page.

Picky, I know, but sometimes the correct terminology can get answers faster.

Cheers,
Rob
[1] prolly not the correct DNS method, but sufficient for an illustration :)
