yes you are right, I am hosting both sites from the same server. I have been allocated a block of 10 IP addresses.
Ill just post a bit more info.
In my http.conf at the bottom of the file I have a section like the following
<VirtualHost 205.209.144.x>
ServerAlias
www.domain1.net domain1.net
ServerAdmin
webmaster@domain1.net
DocumentRoot /home/network/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/domain1.net-bytes_log
ServerName
www.domain1.net
User domainuser
Group domainuser
CustomLog domlogs/domain1.net combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain1/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>
NameVirtualHost 205.209.144.x:80
<VirtualHost 205.209.144.x>
ServerAlias
www.domain2.net domain2.net
ServerAdmin
webmaster@domain2.net
DocumentRoot /home/domain2/public_html
BytesLog domlogs/domain2.net-bytes_log
ServerName
www.domain2.net
User domain2
Group domain2
CustomLog domlogs/domain2.net combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain/public_html/cgi-bin/
</VirtualHost>
Both virtualhosts are on the same ip address (if thats any help). No matter which url I enter into the address bar I get the same web page even though DocumentRoot is different for both and they have different index.html files.
I also don't know if this is any help but on my old server plesk had created some virtual interfaces i.e. when I did ifconfig I would have eth0 ip1, then eth0:1 ip2, then eth0:2 ip3. Now on this current server when I do an ifconfig I only have eth0 and lo.
I would say assume nothing as I am new to cpanel. If you would like to see my dns zone files just tell me.
thanks
