It has read the full configuration and created the Virtual Hosts; however, if a request
doesn't contain a host header that matches the name of one of the virtual hosts, Apache
will pick a default Virtual Host for the given IP:Port and if not explicitly defined, the
first defined virtual host "has the highest priority and can be seen as the default or
primary server" (
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html).
In your case, if you do not have a DNS or hosts file entry, you could also test with
CURL something like
curl
127.0.0.1:2080 -H "Host=node3"
curl 127.0.0.1"2080 -H "Host=node4"
Or you could use firefox dev tools to modify (add the Host header) and resend requests to your server.

I don't really think a subdomains versus different domains makes any difference as long as
both domain names resolve to the Reverse Proxy server IP address. If you really want to use
unique domains for the discussion, you could use
domain1.com and
domain2.com or
example1.com and
example2.com.
