You have to get DNS working properly before tackling the apache config. I presume all hostnames have to resolve to the same IP? So, work on the DNS config until this is so (test DNS using "nslookup" - not by typing the hostnames into a browser). Once you have DNS working reliably using nslookup, try the hostnames in a browser. If you still have problems, check your ServerName and ServerAlias directives in each VH. Post back if you need further help. BTW, it would help if you posted real domain names - since this could be a DNS issue, it would be better if we could check it ourselves.
