We pretend to support how 1.2.4 virtualhosts are broken. So if you do try anything with virtualhosts and have trouble, try 1.2.4. This isn't intended to imply that virtual hosts don't work right, or they change every release; for 99% of people, they never see the problems. The other 1%, however... get quite interesting behavior. Technically correct, but still odd.
