What does ``httpd -S -f /path/to/conf'' say about this vhost? Is the vhost that it ends up going to the default vhost? Ie the first encountered when parsing the conf file. This would indicate that the requested hostname didn't match any other applicable vhost. The one weird thing in your config is that you are specifying an ip:port for your vhosts. Are you using _solely_ name based virtual hosting? If so, I would configure the vhosts with ``<VirtualHost *:80>'' (and obviously, ``NameVirtualHost *:80'' in the appropriate place) rather than a specific ip:port.
