 Sigh.  No, according to what you are now telling me, the main server 
 isn't being used at all for an IP designated as a NameVirtualHost.
 This is the exact thing you told me you _weren't_ seeing, but that is
 exactly what you are seeing.
 
 And, as I have said three times now, it is supposed to work that way.
 Please go through the docs and examples again.  If you specify a 
 NameVirtualHost directive then THE MAIN SERVER CONFIGURATION ISN'T
 USED, ONLY VIRTUALHOSTS ARE USED FOR THAT IP.
