Apache Virtual Host question

I'm having (maybe not) an issue with the virtual hosts section, and a
second look would be fine.

I have "NameVirtualHost *" set, and I have each virtual host beginning
as <VirtualHost xxxdomain.tld>. All other directives and constructs
are the same for all domains.

When I run httpd -S, I get five lines total around the type of
"Virtualhost xxxdomain.net:0 overlaps with virtualhost xxxdomain.org:
0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost
directive". These correspond to five domains that are not yet reset
in external DNS - they are currently redirected to Geocities, but I
want to bring them on to my server. On these domains, the TLD is the
only difference.

Then I get three lines confirming the three domains (localhost and two
others) and they are fine.

I would assume these warnings will go away as I bring up the rest of
the domains in external DNS, or do I still need to learn even more
about virtual hosts?

So when I introduce

NameVirtualHost domain.com:80 <----------redirected to IP
xx.xx.xx.xx in DNS
NameVirtualHost domain.net:80 <---------redirected to same
xx.xx.xx.xx in DNS
NameVirtualHost vanity_domain.net:80 <------------Redirected to
IP yy.yy.yy.yy in DNS
NameVirtualHost domain.org:80 <------Everthing from here on down
redirected to Geocities
NameVirtualHost domain.us:80
NameVirtualHost domain.biz:80
NameVirtualHost domain.info:80

And with matching entries in <Virtual Host> lines, I browse to:

www.domain.net - www.domain.com web page <--------------domain
mismatch is no mistake - the issue
www.domain.com - www.domain.com web page
vanity_domain.net - vanity_domain.net web page
Other domains still redirect to Geocities

And httpd -S reports

NameVirtualHost domain.net 80 has no VirtualHosts
NameVirtualHost domain.org 80 has no VirtualHosts
NameVirtualHost domain.us 80 has no VirtualHosts
NameVirtualHost domain.biz 80 has no VirtualHosts
NameVirtualHost domain.info 80 has no VirtualHosts

VirtualHost Configuration:
yy.yy.yy.yy is a NameVirtualHost
Default Server vanity_domain.net
Port 80 NameVHost vanity_domain.net

xx.xx.xx.xx is a NameVirtualHost
Default Server www.domain.com

Port 80 NameVHost www.domain.com
Port 80 NameVHost www.domain.net
Port 80 NameVHost www.domain.org
Port 80 NameVHost www.domain info
Port 80 NameVHost www.domain.biz
Port 80 NameVHost www.domain.us

Do I ned to remove everything in the NameVirtualHost except for the
[NameVirtualHost domain.com:80] and the [NameVirtualHost
vanity_domain.net:80] entries?

FWIW, IP yy.yy.yy.yy is the static address provided by my ISP. It has
been provided to my name registrar. IP address yy.yy.yy.yy is
[apparently] internal to my ISP.

Let me add one last detail. IP yy.yy.yy.yy has been provided to my
name registrar for the IP address for both domain.net and domain.com.

If you use domain names in nameVirtualHost, they will be resolved to IP
addresses first - so, essentially, you have conflicting NamevirtualHost
entries. If you have static IP addresses, you should use them in the
NameVirtualHost entries:

NameVirtualHost yy.yy.yy.yy:80
<VirtualHost yy.yy.yy.yy:80>
ServerName domain.net
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost yy.yy.yy.yy:80>
ServerName domain.com
...
</VirtualHost>

So I should have [NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx:80] and [NameVirtualHost
[yy.yy.yy.yy:80] for the two IP involved, and I should also have an IP
for each associated VirtualHost directive/block, correct?

You seem to need IP-based virtualhost support.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/ip-based.html

I don't think you should use <NameVirtualHost ...> at all.
NameVirtualHost is only used when all virtual hosts have
the same IP address, but different hostnames.

What I'm trying to do is:

Static IP of my router - 209.250.30.45
Port 80 forwarded to 192.168.0.20

localhost
served from/at 127.0.0.1 as configuration console

vanity_domain.net
domain.com
domain.net
domain.org
domain.biz
domiain.info
domain.us
all served from external servers pointing to 209.250.30.45

Pardon me. Resolution is *provided* through external servers all
pointing to 209.250.30.45 - served
from machine at 192.168.0.20.

Then this example applies.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vho....html#purename

Details:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html

But I'm sure you read all thast already.
Those examples really work.
