More specifically, you must have a "NameVirtualHost *" line in
httpd.conf to enable named virtual hosts.  Then you can have multiple

	<VirtualHost *>
	    ServerName www.domain.tld
	    DocumentRoot /x/y
	</VirtualHost>

entries.  Apache will match the host header from the HTTP request
against the various "ServerName" or "ServerAlias" entries and redirect
to the "DocumentRoot" associated with the one that matches.
