I checked a couple of pages on VirtualHosts in the Apache documentation. 
As far as I can see in the examples in most of them there a 
NameVirtualHost for every VirtualHost, even when it's running on a 
different port.

See the examples here:

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

I don't know enough about Apache configuration to know when you need 
both, so could you please explain me why in our configuration the 
NameVirtualHost directives are extraneous?


Met groet,

Frank.
