Try telnetting to port 80 on the server and asking it for a page on the
new virtual host, e.g.:

    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ telnet 203.63.21.209 80
    Trying 203.63.21.209...
    Connected to kirriwa.net (203.63.21.209).
    Escape character is '^]'.
    GET http://www.kirriwa.net/ HTTP/1.0

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    [snip]

(That's two new lines after the `GET').  Trying it from here doesn't
work:

> > The domain is www.axisofevil.info

    [johnc@dropbear ~]$ telnet www.axisofevil.info 80
    Trying 203.41.215.174...
    telnet: connect to address 203.41.215.174: Connection refused

You don't have apache listening on that address.  That's your first
problem.  Look for `Listen' and `BindAddress' directives in your
httpd.conf.


Cheers,
