Nikolai,

I just tested your site and got two different pages for the two addresses.
(The Win2000 keyboard at stevens and SlashDot at fire).  So as far as I
can see, things are working as they should.

The docs that Mark mentioned say that name-based virtual hosts require
http/1.1.  It might be worth looking in the server access logs to see if
your failed tests were made using http/1.0.

P.S.: Thanks for the info Mark.  I guess it's time I got some more up
to date books :-)
