Hi Eric,

Well, I'm not a web guru and I've never used webmin, so take my
suggestions with a grain of salt handy.  (and you might want to try
the Apache mailing list) But some things come to mind.
I think you may need to add some NameVirtualHost lines in your
httpd.conf file, e.g.

NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:6900
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1:99

You also may need to mess with the 'Listen' config.  I'm also not
sure why you're doing separate ports.  You can have all of your
address go to port 80 if you want:

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80 >
   DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/foo
   ServerName foo.bar.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:80 >
   DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/big
   ServerName big.bar.com
</VirtualHost>

but if you really want separate ports, I think with the
NameVirtualhost lines above you could do the following as well:

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:6900 >
   DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/big
   ServerName big.bar.com
</VirtualHost>
