Since you only have one IP, I'm assuming you are using name based virtual
hosts.
If you have a name based virtual host, and a request comes in for the IP
address, Apache will serve up the default host. So it could be a DNS issue.
(Using the hosts file doesn't always work.)
If you have the time & IP address of a browser that got the wrong site, you
can look through the logs and see exactly what it asked for, to compare with
what it got.
Other things to look for are whether or not the errors are clustered to a
certain network or address space that might have a problem - again, perhaps
DNS.
Cheers,
James
