Hi.
You should use RevHosts to enumerate the vhosts. It's a plugin based
tool written in python, which aggregate all the results from your
sources, and some more :

[in french] http://www.revhosts.net/index.php/Accueil
http://www.revhosts.net/releases/revhosts-0.2.16.tar.gz

Example :
revhosts % ./revhosts.py -v -i 207.99.30.226
Plugin [webhosting] in action . . .
Plugin [whois.sc] in action . . .
Hash and Sort in action . . .
