It can't bind a virtual host to an address that's not on the server. Here's the output of httpd -S lccas243$ bin/httpd -S VirtualHost configuration: 64.157.185.199:80 www.myserver.com (/usr/local/httpd/conf/vhosts/80_myserver.com:5) wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:443 is a NameVirtualHost default server www.myserver.com (/usr/local/httpd/conf/vhosts/443_myserver.com:4) port 443 namevhost www.myserver.com (/usr/local/httpd/conf/vhosts/443_myserver.com:4) *:80 is a NameVirtualHost On the server itself, www.myserver.com resolves to 10.37.74.24 which is the address I have in the /etc/hosts file. But apache is resolving it based on it's DNS entry. It does this even when I turn DNS off!
