I thought CNAMEs to CNAMEs were illegal?

Here's the problem.. if I do a "host movie.pcug.co.uk":
movie.pcug.co.uk CNAME www.uk.imdb.org
www.uk.imdb.org CNAME uk.imdb.org
uk.imdb.org A 192.68.174.59
Therefore, the uk.imdb.com virtualhost was the same IP as the main
server, so it got ignored except for the Host-generating
browsers. I'd call the original config wrong, as it had a virtual host
and main server pointing to the same IP address. The fix that he did
is fine, or he could have changed the main ServerName to
olive.pcug.co.uk.
Apache's working exactly as it's supposed to, therefore, it's just
your configuration that was a bit screwed up.
