If you do 'check_http -h' you'll see that it has an option for
specifying the IP address of the host, AND the vhost name to use when
checking.  So, you could setup a check command like so:

define command{
	command_name	check_vhost
	command_line	$USER1$/check_http -H $ARG1$ -I $HOSTADDRESS$
	}

Then you do a different service for each vhost.  You put the host_name
as the host_name you put in your host definition.  It'll then use the IP
from that host definition for $HOSTADDRESS$.  Then you set your
check_command to  check_vhost!vhost1.com


Hope that helps.
