As virtual hosts are defined just by a Host: header in client's request, I'm
pretty sure that there is no way (please let me know if there is!) to
enumerate virtual hosts from a remote machine.

The only way is to check the actual configuration file of the HTTP daemon,
for which you need local hosts access, of course.

If you know that only certain domain is hosted on a particular physical
machine, and if you can get the DNS zone for that domain, you can check
which hostnames' pointers go to that physical machine.

Cheers,

Bojan
