Zend Framework application served via ip address - apache

Question

I am trying to setup my linode account to serve a zend framework web application from the IP address of the server. Everything works if I serve it from a resolved domain name like www.somesite.com/controller/action, but not from 182.324.34.2/controller/action. I think this has something to do with how zend framework handles routes? My question is what is the best way to run the application until a domain name is linked to the servers ip. Is this something I can handle with a .htaccess or apache config or something that needs to be handled via zend framework.
Edit:
I am not using hostname routes.
my .htaccess is
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* index.php
my vhost
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/core/public
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/core/public>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
my zend framework config is pretty standard, let me know what parts would help.

Assuming you are on an Ubuntu server, you may need to simply disable the default virtual host:
sudo a2dissite default
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
