Thanks to all who helped. The missing link was the "ServerAlias"
directive in the second vhost. It is there in the docs; I read it but I
guess it did not register in mind :)
I got the impression that Apache extracts the "hostname" from the GET
received from the browser and serves the site if def. found otherwise
serve the default site but ... it does needs a little help with the
ServerAlias directive.
Anyway, I'll summarize my experience for NameBased vhost setup. Here I
am setting up different "hostnames" under the _same_ domain name.
Visitors will see different DocTree depending on the hostname given in
the URL. Assumption - your DNS server is set with relevant hostnames in
your domain zone file:
1. The first entry is the default host - don't need any ServerAlias
_unless_ you want this site to be accessed by any other
"hostname" alias.
2. Subsequent vhosts defs. must have a ServerAlias directive. The
alias pointing to the FQDN of the server.
