No magic per se, just set the VhostDir directive in your spreadlogd.conf

Those are individual apache children failing to connect to spread.  Make 
sure there is a spread ring they can attach to (i you changed the names 
in the spread.conf from the hostnames, you will need to start spread 
with a '-n <name>' flag.  My usual approcah to this is to use just the 
nodename in the file, and to use a wrapper which converts `hostname` 
into the nodename and runs spread with that flag.

If spread is running, there may be other problems.  How many httpd 
children do you have per server (per spread instance specifically).
