Combined IP/Name-based virtual host problem


Hi folks,

I have been trying to figure this out for a few days now and I've pulled out most of my hair. Can someone please put me out of my misery.

I need to transfer several domains from simple, managed web-hosting to a semi-dedicated VPS server so that I can get my hands dirty and get the extra control that I crave.

My server uses Debian flavoured Linux with Apache2 (I have no choice in this) and I have 3 IP addresses.

I want to implement a combined IP/Name-based virtual host configuration.

Directories sites-available and sites-enabled are both empty.

In the example (below), I have 4 sites.
Browsing to www.site-A.com and www.site-B.com works correctly.
Browsing to www.site-C.com and www.site-D.com always shows site-C.
If I change the order so that site-D appears before site-C, then browsing to either will show site-D.

I have looked everywhere for examples of combined IP/Name-based configs, but it never makes any difference.

I have set DNS so that the 4 sites point into my server:

site-A goes to 123.45.67.100
site-B goes to 123.45.67.101
site-C and site-D both go to 123.45.67.199

And here is my server configuration:

Code:
ServerName localhost
Listen 80


#####  site-A.com on 123.45.67.100

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.100>
	ServerName site-A.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/site-A/htdocs
</VirtualHost>


#####  site-B.com on 123.45.67.101

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.101>
	ServerName site-B.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/site-B/htdocs
</VirtualHost>



#####  Multiple name-based virtual hosts on 123.45.67.199  #####


NameVirtualHost 123.45.67.199


#####  site-C.com on 123.45.67.199

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.199>
	ServerName site-C.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/site-C/htdocs
</VirtualHost>


#####  site-D.com on 123.45.67.199

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.199>
	ServerName site-D.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/site-D/htdocs
</VirtualHost>

But they have the same address! I understand you think the server name should determine the ultimate destination, but maybe it would be a good idea to assign different IPs just as an experiment. Or different ports, if not IPs.

Code:
#####  site-C.com on 123.45.67.199

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.199>
	ServerName site-C.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/site-C/htdocs
</VirtualHost>


#####  site-D.com on 123.45.67.199

<VirtualHost 123.45.67.199>
	ServerName site-D.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/sites/site-D/htdocs
</VirtualHost>
I would be curious to see what would happen if these two had different IPs.
