Default server and virtual host in Apache1.3.22

Hi,
I am trying to configure 2 virtual host in apache
1.3.22 on windows 2000.
I am Using Name-based Virtual Hosts,
my default server name is
pfizer-maps, with DocumentRoot "C:/maps" and ipaddress
192.168.186.229
then i define 2 virtual host
they look some thing like this
NameVirtualHost 192.168.186.229
<VirtualHost 192.168.186.229>
ServerName as400-maps
DocumentRoot "C:/mapsjrun/pages"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.186.229>
ServerName testvh
DocumentRoot "C:/application/maps"
</VirtualHost>
every thing works fine for virtualhost, if i get
request by as400-maps name i go to its document root,
and if i get request testvh i go to its document root,

but when i get request as pfizer-maps i go to the
document root of as400-maps.
Now the question is, does apache work like this only,
i came accross a document at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost
which has a statement
Note: the "main server" and any _default_ servers will
never be served for a request to a NameVirtualHost IP
Address
so what does this mean , can i access the server
default document root or not, i am a bit confused how
can i access my default server

No. Once you have a NameVirtualHost directive, the main server DocumentRoot
will *never* be used. (See the paragraph before "Compatability with Older
Browsers" in http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html )

This is not a restriction, however. Just create a third <VirtualHost>
section with
ServerName pfizer-maps
and the same DocumentRoot as the main server. If you want it to be the
"default" virtualhost, then list it first in the config file.

You're probably better off asking this on the tomcat users mailing list.
