Suppose you have two top level domains (abc.com and xyz.com) that point (using your server .htaccess files) to two subdirectories on the same ip (xx.xx.xx.xx/abc and xx.xx.xx.xx/xyz). Will google spider these two sites properly and list them as the two separate sites? Note, this is not cheating or redirection or anything. Many times you have two sites on one server with one IP and use Apache server controls to direct to the appropriate entry point.

Thanks.

As long as the two sites are unique, you won't have any problems. Google indexes thousands of virtual hosted domains that resolve to a single IP every month.

If the two sites are duplicate content, then it is a different story. Best case scenario, Google will only list one and simply ignore the other. Worst case scenario, Goole dumps them both.
