I've corrected the problem. The only thing that had any effect was
adding a port specification to the default virtual host. If it's 
set to port 80, everything starts working. This is accomplished
through the HTTP Configuration tool by changing it from
"Handle all remaining requests" to "Handle all requests on port: 80"
Makes no sense to me, and seems like a some sort of bug...

However I'm happy since my setup now works - I can now add
my server's domain name into /etc/hosts, and be able to access
my virtual hosts from the machine itself.

I need /etc/hosts, because my Internet connection is somewhat flaky,
and when it breaks GNOME goes insane, and takes forever to do anything
at all, because it's constantly trying to resolve the machine name.
