That's normal.  They're each requests for the default root document.

Nothing unusual in that, either.  That's the hostname in the request
from the client.  You could put in a bogus one, and get the same
response.  e.g. add bogus to 192.168.0.4 in the hosts file, then request
a page from http://bogus.  You'll get that sort of thing from your PHP
file, even though you've not set up any "bogus" virtual host.

I'd be inclined to set up different logging files in each virtual host,
so you could see exactly which host is reacting to what.  Open up a few
consoles, and do "tail -f /var/log/httpd/confianza" in one, and similar
commands in the other, so you can watch each one live, as you make
different requests.

Alternatively, you can do custom logs which also includes hostnames in
the log data.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
