About Virtual Hosting, plz HELP

[Sir]

The virtual hosts directive in Apache has very little to do with the DNS
entries you are listing.  What you may be missing is the "Listen" directive in
Apache. You need to tell apache what IPs and ports to listen to.  It's a ways
up in the httpd.conf file. Do a "grep -n Listen httpd.conf" and see if you have
"Listen 80". As far as DNS, it will just resolve a  cononical name to an IP.
Your DNS  output looks garbled.  I have always avoided CNAME records because I
noticed that UUNET ( the only ISP I still respect) never used them. Stick to
"A" records;

www        IN        A    1.2.3.4
