Yep checked the discussion forums and there isn't any threads on it.  Have
you tried adding a ServerAlias to it then going to the alias itself
successfully?  Also what version of FreeBSD/Apache are you running it's
possible this is an Apache or OS level problem that we're experiencing for
some reason.

It appears as if Apache is taking the domain portion of the alias and
recognizing that it belongs under the virtual hosted site, however since
the extensions aren't installed for the name of the alias it's defaulting
the browser to the main root web.  Thus it's using the virtual hosts
permissions but applying them to the main root web.  Tis the only thing I
can think of, but I would think that it would be doing it on other
machines as well.

The machine it's on right now is running Apache 1.3.2 under FreeBSD
3.1-STABLE branch, just installed it clean as it's  new web server.
