No problem.

That should work fine - ServerName overrides reverse DNS. Do you have a
'Port 443' and 'Listen 443' in your main config section?

By default Apache will listen on "*", so you would see something like:
*.80 *.* 0 0 0 0
LISTEN
*.443 *.* 0 0 0 0
LISTEN
In a netstat. This means that any IP aliases running on that machine
will also listen on those ports. You only need to use the BindAddress
directive if you want to limit the IP's that listen.

Yep - in fact if they're empty they don't need to even exist.

Nope, not sure why you'd want to, so I've never tried... you could
always bind it to 'localhost', which would make it effectively 'not
there' for the rest of the world...

That's the name of the game...
