You need to move your local site setings into a VirtualHost container 
with the right servername or alias too.  The first Virtualhost in the 
list becomes the default when you use named vhosts, unless you have one 
that says <VirtualHost _default_:80>

If you are testing with an IP address or a name that doesn't match, 
you'll hit the default.
