geez... I think it won't work at all... all the apache's will be listening
to a particular address, on port 80. when someone tries www.gdcourt.com it
will resolve a valid ip (ie 203.217.34.151)... ok, apache looks for the
"virtual name" after the connection has reached it... so, it doesn't matter
if www.gcourt.com and www.truocg.com are beeing resolved to the same address
(203.217.34.151), only one apache will be able to "answer" for that request,
and after, you could redirect to a particular website ON THAT SAME APACHE.
If you're planning to only serve webpages, you could tell apache that
www.gcourt.com is in that directory (ie. /vservers/gcourt/www/htdocs) and
www.truocg.com is on another one (ie. /vservers/truocg/www/htdocs), but, not
run apache on different servers. if you do this apache "virtual names"
stuff, you really don't need vserver, otherwise, how would you let the users
connect to their vserver beeing outside your LAN (yes, it would be possible
if the users were in your internal network)?

got that?
