I have 17 sites with a multisite installation and uses the domain access module. This means that I have the same code base and same database for all 17 sites.Is it possible to configure Apache(hosting server) in such a way that all sites have a different IP even if the physical location for all sites is same?

Sure, if your server is set up to accept traffic for each IP, you just need to use IP-based VirtualHosts instead of name-based VirtualHosts.

Namely, you'll need to have Apache Listen directive for each IP address in apache.conf, and each VirtualHost block would have to reference the IP address its listening on.
