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.

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

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