On one machine, I've got 4 virtual domains, and 6 virtual hosts.  Each of 
which with their own DNS entry, IP addy, and web server.  Works great, 
except when I try to resolve the virtual domains from other machines on 
the net (can anyone help with DNS?).  So, yes, you can have virtual 
hosts, as well as virtual domains. :^)
