BindAddress is deprecated for virtual hosts.  Use the VirtualHost 
directive as suggested.  But skip the Listen ... part, just use
VirtualHost.

[both BindAddress and Listen have uses, just not for generic 
virtual hosting]

If you use the VirtualHost directive errors go to the
ErrorLog.  Pretty much anything that can be set for the
main server can be over-ridden on a server by server
basis within VirtualHost.

Try it, you might like it.

Oh, re. something not belonging in srm.conf, it hasn't
mattered which of the three files you put things in for
a *long* time.
