what do to with non-existent domains - ?
Hi guys.

I've engine-searched this and turns out be an old "issue" but I failed
to find a solution which works.

When your apache gets a request (DNS says it should) for a domain which
your Apache is not configured to server then first alphabetically
domain/vhost/vname will respond - which in itself surprises me, the
rationale of it - I read people explain.

So the old "issue" is - naturally everybody' I'd imagine - how to have
those non-existent domains/vhosts, both HTTP & HTTPS, caught and dealt
with(ideally redirect them someplace) ?

all thoughts and suggestions share are much appreciated,

many thanks, L.

You would define a default vhost for that port that would handle those
requests. In that vhost, you can either return a 403, a 302, or even a 418.
