[Cialug] Virtual hosts in Apache

[Tim Wilson]

I figured out why foobar.domain1.com was always displaying the page for
foo.domain1.com when going to port 80.  From the Apache website: "If no
matching virtual host is found, then *the first listed virtual host* that
matches the IP address will be used."  So I moved my entry with the invalid
DocumentRoot to the top, and now it works.  I'm still getting a couple "no
VirtualHosts" warnings.  Both are for domain2, which is a .us domain.  There
isn't anything weird with a .us domain, is there?
