Exactly. The request is assigned to a particular VH based on it's TCP/IP and HTTP header attributes. Thereafter, the only directives which apply to it are those inside the VH container or those "outside" which have "server" context (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/directive-dict.html#Context ).
You need to put the rule in every VH...

... unless you can specify it globally using mass virtual hosting
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/mass.html ).
