I think, if you specify 'port 80' then apache listens on all active
interfaces.
If you give 'listen ip:port' , it will listen on that port/ip combination.
Isn't it?

A few points:
1) Normally, apache listens to all active IP addresses. However, to make
sure (I never trust defaults) make it explicit with:
Listen 10.0.0.61:80
2) Your line:
> ServerName localhost
may have unexpected consequences. This is used by apache to make
self-referential URLs. That is, if you have a directory called "banana"
under you docroot and you type something like "
http://10.0.0.61/banana" (i.e. no trailing slash) into a browser, the server will respond with a
301 redirect to the banana directory. BUT it will use the ServerName to
form the redirect. So your server will respond with
"
http://localhost/banana/" - which is not really what you want.
I would either;
- set ServerName 10.0.0.61
- remove ServerName altogether
- set UseCanonicalName off (to diable this redirect behaviour)
read the docs for ServerName and UseCanonicalName for more details.
3) You seem to imply that the client can't even telnet to the server -
if so, there are probably network problems. Is inetd running on the
server? Is inetd.conf set up to allow telnetd etc. to fire up on
incoming connections? Are both network cards configured and working?
(try "ifconfig -a" on both machines to test).
