If Apache doesn't recognise the host name sent by the client, the
default is to use the first VirtualHost instead.

Setup a virtual host and use AliasMatch to redirect every request to
your error page. Make it the first VirtualHost container in
httpd.conf. Something like this should work:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ServerName error.mydomain.com.au
ErrorLog logs/error.mydomain.com.au/error_log
CustomLog logs/error.mydomain.com.au/access_log combined
DocumentRoot "/var/www/error.mydomain.com.au/html"
AliasMatch .* /var/www/error.mydomain.com.au/html/error.html
</VirtualHost>
