Package: apache2-common
Severity: normal
The [1][2]Apache documentation indicates that when using
NameVirtualHost, the VirtualHost directive should use * (as opposed to
_default_) to match all IP addresses. However my experimentation has
demonstrated that if I have multiple VirtualHost entries, with different
ServerNames, all starting with the line:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Every server name will be matched by the first VirtualHost entry.
However, the documented behavior was achieved by using _default instead:
<VirtualHost _default_:80>
This is either a bug in the implementation, or the documentation.

X-Spam-Level:
You've described perfectly the situation where you do not have a
NameVirtualHost line that does not match your VirtualHost stanzas.
eg:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *>
....
</VirtualHost>
Apache will produce a warning in that case.
I have many hundred systems all using VirtualHost * succesfully with
numerous virtual hosts.
