Multiple nameservers for multiple domain names from two IPs?

[Stuart Murray-Smith]

Hi list

I have two nameservers:

ns1.domain_1.tld, IP = vvv.www.xxx.yyy
ns2.domain_1.tld, IP = vvv.www.xxx.zzz,

where xxx.yyy and xxx.zzz are two physically different servers ie ns1
zone files are stored on server xxx.yyy and ns2 zone files are stored
on server xxx.zzz

How would I serve multiple nameservers:

ns1.domain_1.tld, ns2.domain_1.tld
ns1.domain_2.tld, ns2.domain_2.tld
...
ns1.domain_n.tld, ns2.domain_n.tld

for multiple domain names from the above IPs?

Domain lookups of the zone files below function, but an HTTP request
of any of the virtual domains doesn't serve the correct page. It
serves a website from one of the another domains. May I assume that
Apache isn't resolving a website's CNAME name request in the
<VirtualHost> section correctly because of an error in the multiple
nameserver config?
