Matthew - I think you're asking how to serve a default page if someone
comes to the raw IP address?  Since I constantly have people probing my
IP address (virus weenies), I created an entry for the first named host
that would redirect them away:

NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName google.com
  ServerAdmin webmaster@rhinocomputing.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/default
  ServerAlias google.com *.google.com
</VirtualHost>

and in that directory I have some files that are useful:

default.ida
index.php
robots.txt

default.ida has some php code in it:

<?
header("Location: http://www.microsoft.com");
?>

and index.php has:

<?
header("Location: http://microsoft.com");
?>

to give those search engines that ignore the robots file something to
index.  The robots file has:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

So, if someone probes my IP address instead of any of my virtual
domains, hopefully they will get nothing and be redirected away.
