[ale] Question about apache virtual hosts

[Robert L. Harris]

If it helps, I have some vhosts set up like it looks like you're trying to do.
My config looks like this:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin robert at rdlg.net

        ServerName www.rdlg.net
        DocumentRoot /var/www/RDLG.rdlg.net/htdocs/
        .
        .
        .Standard config for the main site here
        .
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAlias rdlg.net 
        redirect / http://www.rdlg.net/
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAlias wally.rdlg.net
        redirect / http://www.rdlg.net/
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin robert at rdlg.net
        ServerName comics.rdlg.net
        ServerAlias comics.rdlg.net
        Redirect / http://www.rdlg.net/cgi-bin/comicsgen.pl
</VirtualHost>


Mainly note the NameVirtualHost and the <VirtualHost *>.  Also, this
is a Debian unstable system.
