The whole point of virtual hosts is you can have multiple of them - that
is the whole way Apache configuration works to have multiple sites being
served from the same server... currently I have servers with 20+
virtualhost configurations.
Having a single virtual host is OK - but if you have more than one
virtualhost (or you have multiple domains for a single virtualhost - we
do on sandbox/dev/staging/live sites) you would need to write a long set
of rewritecond entries..
The configuration I set up is the simplest extensible one...

I didn’t think you could have two virtualhost entries with the same
IP/port. I would probably do this within with a single VirtualHost,
myself. Something like this combined with the RewriteRule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^THE.CORRECT.HOSTNAME$

The easiest way to do this is to make sure you have the correct
hostname in the virtual host - the one that matches your certificate
and another virtual host which has no hostname in it to catch all the
other requests.
<VirtualHost *:*>
.... return a forbidden response for all requests!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L,F]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:*>
ServerName your.real.host.com
... real config...
</VirtualHost>

In addition to fixing your certificate, you may have a reason to
make sure the host header they send is correct. If they are
reaching you via an alternate hostname or something that’s getting
them to the correct IP, but shouldn’t be supported for your
service, stopping them from doing that might take aware the
incentive they see to disabling the hostname verification in the
first place.

Thanks Rainer and Daniel.
Sorry for the confusion and please let me clarify.
We have a web server with Apache 2.2.22 with OpenSSL 0.9.8t,
the Apache service launches fine and the users/developers are
able to connect however developers through their code bypass
the Server SSL certificate verification. I am not worried
about the client certificate validation since we are not using
it, all the concern is we need to stop users bypassing the
Server SSL verification who are claiming they have to bypass
it since the certificate name doesn’t match the server name in
the link being called. Kindly note that configuration in
hhtpd.conf is:
You can't stop them unless you control the client. You only
control the server. The only thing you could do is provide a
better certificate.
