 Some of the erm... "features" of the current virtual host code can do
 that.

 No, not generally.  You could give it a try though.  What you may want to
 do is setup a test server on a different port and start with a base
 config with no virtualhosts, which may work, then start adding things
 until it breaks.

 My best guess would be that you think it is a part of the main server, but
 Apache thinks something different.   Go through each virtual host, and
 verify that it has a unique IP address that is different from the main
 server.  It may be easiest for you to send the appropriate (ie.
 virtualhost, a bit of the main stuff) parts of your config files for us to
 look at.
 
 This is just a quick comment so that you can see if you can figure it out
 before I get time to go into more depth.
