The above text from me was meant for the benefit of humanity in general, not
specifically for you, since you were already doing that part properly. Sorr=
y for not being clear about that.

No, because the argument to VirtualHost need to be the same as the address
given in to NameVirtualHost, and for every distinct VirtualHost hostname you
need a corresponding NameVirtualHost directive. The correct place to put the
name of the virtual host (i.e., what clients use) is the ServerName directi=
ve
withon the VirtualHost container. Usually the arguments to VirtualHost and
ServerName within that VirtualHost container are NOT identical.
