Apache "vhosts" are 'domains' and not necessarily 'sites'.

If you have multiple sites under the same domain, then they all go in
the one vhost.

Also note:

http://example.com/
http://example.com/site01
http://example.com/site02

are all one domain and so all go under the one vhost.

However, you can instead have:

http://example.com/
http://site01.example.com/
http://site02.example.com/

that could go as three separate vhosts...

(Also add the www. ... versions as aliases for those poor souls unaware
that "www" is not really needed...)

Hope you're using general rules so that they all get bundled up into
just a few lines... ;-)


Good luck!

(I'll have my music playing real loud so as not to hear ;-) )
