| There is no point in creating the domain under 2 Ip's in the same server , as if the server is down, it does not do any good to you. You have to host your domain in two servers to achieve the advantage you are looking at .
If you still want to do it
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html
that should help you and make your changes in the dns as well

| You will have to create 2 VirtualHost entries for the same domain using the 2 different IPs in the Apache configuration file (httpd.conf). Also make sure you have 2 A records for the domain in the DNS zone file of the domain under /var/named/ directory.
But as said by "activelobby4u", they are of no use when both the IPs are on the same server. Once the server is down, everything is down.

| He doesn't have to create two virtual hosts , he can do it this way
=======
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1
NameVirtualHost 172.20.30.40
DocumentRoot /www/server1
ServerName server.example.com

| If the two IPs have different uplinks it would make sense to use both of them on the same server, in case there's a network issue with either one of them. Still, you would have to edit the DNS zone so you wont lose 50% of your traffic from roundrobin DNS (if any)
