I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Read the docs.
They say:
Note: When you specify an IP address in a NameVirtualHost directive
then requests to that IP address will only ever be served by matching
<VirtualHost>s. The "main server" will never be served from the
specified IP address.
and:
If the lookup fails (the IP address wasn't found) the request is
served from the _default_ vhost if there is such a vhost for the port
to which the client sent the request. If there is no matching
_default_ vhost the request is served from the main_server.
See http://www.apache.org/docs/vhosts/examples.html#default for examples.
There is a reason the docs are there.
