Karl's leading you astray...

One only needs NameVirtualHost to specify an IP if you have multiple
interfaces to the Internet.  For this, and almost certainly for your
production version, you want:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName example.org
   ...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
   ServerName another.org
   ...
</VirtualHost>

That's bad :-)  You want the ServerName directives for each virtual host
_only_ within the <VirtualHost> definition.

(and we don't ever modify http.conf! - put each virtual host config in a
separate file in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled)
