Rod is right; you need the NameVirtualHost directive when virtual hosts sha=
re
the same IP address (i.e., there are multiple DNS A records for your the IP
address of your server, or there are CNAME records giving it additional
names).

I have DNS names, not IP addresses, in my declarations of NameVirtualHost a=
nd
VirtualHost. It seems to work fine either way.

There is another technique for virtual hosts, now little used, involving a
different IP address for each virtual host. For example, bar.foo.org might =
be
served via eth0, while baz.foo.org via eth0:1. In this case you do not need
the NameVirtualHost directive. I have used this method; it was useful back
when some browsers did not support virtual hosts and when static IP address=
es
were not so scarce.
