If apache is differentiating the sites into different document roots, then the site is NOT using multi-site. By definition, multi-site has multiple domains (and such) being routed to the same document root and Drupal uses the access pattern to determine which "site" directory to use for it.
Huh? The multi-site in this case is more than one site listed in the sites directory. The DocumentRoot can be specified differently and a symlink used to create that directory or the DocumentRoot could be the same directory for each Virtual site. I tend to have a directory structure of SITE/htdocs and htdocs is a symlink to the Drupal version used for the site. This allows me to but the access and error logs in the SITE directory for that site. This gives me control to upgrade one site at a time when I do an upgrade. It is kind of difficult to execute update.php on more than one site with certainty that the process completes. If an issue arises then you want to focus on that issue until it is resolved because the site is down. I don't want all sites down at once.
