This topic was covered with detail in the paper "Exegesis of Virtual
Hosts Hacking":

http://www.infosecwriters.com/text_resources/pdf/exegesis.pdf

After reading it you should have a pretty good idea on how to find
different virtual sites hosted behind the same IP address.

There is no way to enumerate all virtual hosts relyable and complete
(unless you have access to the webserver-config).

A good guess is the already mentioned ip-search from msn.
There are also a handful of databases on the net that know about
ip-numbers and hostnames. The best known might be http://dnstools.com
(formerly whois.sc), another option is http://webhosting.info.

Both databases focus on .com/.net/.org - domains. If you are interested
in a broader tld-range you might also try http://www.tomdns.net - the
site is currently in heavy beta. tomdns does some active researching
after you start a query - so you might get more results when you repeat
your search a few minutes later.
