Thom,

I just want to make sure I properly understand your double not. Are you
saying that your eg above is what I should do or what I should not do?

According to http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#virtualhost

   Addr can be: ... The character *, which is used only in combination
   with NameVirtualHost * to match all IP addresses

I am unclear on whether or not you are suggesting that I do use a * both
for NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost, or if you are recommending against
that. Are you suggesting that I list my IP address in NameVirtualHost?

thanks,
Charles
