This was exactly the problem, and this should probably be in the documentation. My Web server sits behind my Cisco 675 router (which is doing NAT) in my DMZ. I put the 10.0.0.2 address in and all was well. This also solved another problem I'd been having, but hadn't sat down to figure out. Google search summary: If you're trying to do name-based virtual hosting with Apache and you're using NAT on your network, you must specify the actual IP address of the server in httpd.conf, not the external one that gets translated.
