Indeed, there was a general *:80 binding on the server. Killing all of
my various Apache servers did not make the binding go away so I assume
it is from different server software we are running for HTTPS.
Adding a "Listen" directive to the main Apache configuration area solved
the problem:
Port 80
ServerName www.xyz.org
NameVirtualHost 111.222.333.30
Listen 111.222.333.30:80
<VirtualHost 111.222.333.30>
ServerName www.xyz.org
...
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 111.222.333.30>
ServerName www.abc.org
...
</VirtualHost>
