After replying to your mail I realized that I've been using a fallback on my server for quite while now. Not a redirect to localhost, but a fallback page. The fact that all this stuff just works makes you forget the details. So I looked it up, and indeed, you do *not* need to specify the specific host name(s). I use a catch all virtual host <VirtualHost 176.9.136.165:80> ServerName 176.9.136.165 which catches web access to a.o. mail.ottolander.nl and kelapa.ottolander.nl (coconuts not pineapples these days ;) ) without having to specify each domain name individually.
