However, + <VirtualHost> can be used to specify a different behavior + for one or more of the addresses and ports. To implement a + VirtualHost, the server must first be told to listen to the + address and port to be used. Then a <VirtualHost> section + should be created for a specified address and port to set the + behavior of this virtual host. Note that if the + <VirtualHost> is set for an address and port that the + server is not listening to, it cannot be accessed.
