[vhost]

I've tried with both the internal and external IP declared as
NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and didn't make any difference.  I
haven't tried with <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> section yet.  Using
<VirtualHost site.domain> with NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx was the
setup I had working internally.

[include]

My understanding was that any directive could use an Alias to access
another directory outside of the webspace.  Is there a limit to which
directives can use an Alias?  I'm able to Alias my icons, cgi-bin (of
course) and even a directory containing my Error pages.
