You're probably going to need a bit more data in you vhost configurations... i.e. Allow and/or Deny configs, but otherwise you should be fine...
The DNS/Hostfiles suggestion is a good suggestion... I hadn't thought of that. :) But... you might also want to add "DirectoryIndex index.cfm index.html" to each. It's important to remember that as soon as you add a vhost entry to your config Apache quits resolving any of your default server entries, so you will need to have any settings required to make a default server work in each vhost. This URL could be quite helpful... http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html Note the ServerAlias setting, which allows you to use multiple names per vhost... i.e. you can have multiple "hosts" per "server" when using a vhost setup. Also important to note is this: Main host goes away If you are adding virtual hosts to an existing web server, you must also create a <VirtualHost> block for the existing host. The ServerName and DocumentRoot included in this virtual host should be the same as the global ServerName and DocumentRoot. List this virtual host first in the configuration file so that it will act as the default host. I don't think your localhost config is going to work as a default site, because the default server goes away... Gotta run, but I hope that helps... Laterz!
