Virtual hosts are selected by matching on your ServerName setting, so it's 
whatever you put there - which also has to be something that works in DNS to 
reach it which would be the fully qualified name for anyone who doesn't have you 
domain in their search list.   ServerName takes a single value, but if you want 
additional names to be accepted you can add them to a ServerAlias setting which 
can have more than one.
