	Easy to do with apache. :)

	Assuming that your DNS is correct and all of the names ultimately
resolve to your IP, this is irrelevant. BTW, you don't have much to fear
using real info, and it makes debugging easier, but it's up to you.

	Here is where you run into trouble. You missed the bit of the docs
where it says that if you define a vhost on the same IP as the "main"
server, apache won't respond to anything other than the vhosts. 

> NameVirtualHost 222.222.222.222

Add:

<VirtualHost 222.222.222.222>
	ServerName host.domain.tld
	ServerAlias www.domain.tld
	DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>

> <VirtualHost 222.222.222.222>
> ServerName www.domain1.tld
> DocumentRoot /www/domain1
> </VirtualHost>

	Take a look at the sample httpd.conf file. The entry you want is
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
 
Good luck,
