If the named address resolves to the address in question, then saying:

<virtualhost joe.campusparty.com>

and

<virtualhost 123.123.123.123>

are one in the same.  If you use a FQDN to describe your virtual host, then (if I'm not mistaken) Apache will resolve that name to an IP address, effectively making the 2 entries the same.

Is it better to run two logical instance of apache,  one binding to
localhost and other  binding to 123.123.123.123?
