I'm trying to setup my local Apache configuration like so:

http://localhost/ should serve ~/

http://development.somedomain.co.nz/ should serve ~/sites/development.somedomain.co.nz/

https://development.assldomain.co.nz/ should serve ~/sites/development.assldomain.co.nz/

I only want to allow connections from our local network (192.168.1.* range) and myself (127.0.0.1).

I have setup my hosts file with:

127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost 
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
127.0.0.1 development.somedomain.co.nz
127.0.0.1 development.assldomain.co.nz
127.0.0.1 development.anunuseddomain.co.nz

My Apache configuration looks like:

Listen 80

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost development.somedomain.co.nz:80>
    ServerName development.somedomain.co.nz
    DocumentRoot "~/sites/development.somedomain.co.nz"
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    <Directory ~/sites/development.somedomain.co.nz>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost localhost:80>
    DocumentRoot "~/"
    ServerName localhost
    <Directory "~/">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
    Listen *:443
    NameVirtualHost *:443
    AcceptMutex flock
    <VirtualHost development.assldomain.co.nz:443>
        ServerName development.assldomain.co.nz
        DocumentRoot "~/sites/development.assldomain.co.nz"
        DirectoryIndex index.php
        SSLEngine on
        SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
        SSLCertificateFile /Applications/XAMPP/etc/ssl.crt/server.crt
        SSLCertificateKeyFile /Applications/XAMPP/etc/ssl.key/server.key
        BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \
                 nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                 downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
        <Directory ~/sites/development.assldomain.co.nz>
            SSLRequireSSL
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Includes
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            Allow from all
        </Directory>
    </VirtualHost>

</IfModule>

http://development.somedomain.co.nz/ http://localhost/ and https://development.assldomain.co.nz/ work fine.

The problem is when I request http://development.anunuseddomain.co.nz/ or http://development.assldomain.co.nz/ it responds with the same as http://development.somedomain.co.nz/

I want it to deny all requests that do not match a virtual host server name and all requests to a https host that are requested with http

PS I'm running XAMPP on Mac OS X 10.5.8
