Hi Robert,
From the documentation, it does seem like you can't define a default
virtual host but what you can do is to add it into the top entry of
your list of virtual hosts to have it serve up that page when there
are no matching virtual hosts.
From the documentation, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/name-based.html
Now when a request arrives, the server will first check if it is using
an IP address that matches the NameVirtualHost. If it is, then it will
look at each <VirtualHost> section with a matching IP address and try
to find one where the ServerName or ServerAlias matches the requested
hostname. If it finds one, then it uses the configuration for that
server. If no matching virtual host is found, then the first listed
virtual host that matches the IP address will be used.
As a consequence, the first listed virtual host is the default virtual
host. The DocumentRoot from the main server will never be used when an
IP address matches the NameVirtualHost directive. If you would like to
have a special configuration for requests that do not match any
particular virtual host, simply put that configuration in a
<VirtualHost> container and list it first in the configuration file.
Hope that helped.
Best regards,
Mark
