Your question sounds a bit like you are mixing apache virtual hosts with
xen virtual machines, both of which are on completely different levels,
completely different concepts.

What exactly do you want to do, what's is you goal?

You can imagine a xen domU/virtual machine as if it's a completely
independent machine when looking at a running system from the inside.

So, if you had the same in Hardware, you would not just give multiple
hosts in the same network the same IP, except in conjunction with a high
availability/load balancing system, if you did, it would just not work.
And the same rules are valid for xen virtual machines, unless you take
further measures for routing and networking coordination.
