The other issue is that you generally do NOT specify an IP address in the
<VirtualHost> tag.  It's just <VirtualHost *> - the identification of
_which_ virtual server to use is determined by comparing the host name of
the request to the ServerName value (so use ServerAlias if there are
multiple names that resolve to that server).
