right. It can be the same IP than any other VirtualServer you have ony
your machine.

Yes, that is ok.

But now I see I was blind, somehow, yesterday morning:

Use "DocumentRoot" instead of "Redirect". Addiontally you need a
"NameVirtualHost" directive before your first virtual host of this IP
when you use name based distinction. For separat IP numbers you don´t
need that. In the case of name based virtual hosts you need to have a
VirtualHost segment for ALL your servers on this IP - see this example
(use YOUR IP numbers and YOUR domain names):

NameVirtualHost 4.27.85.221

<VirtualHost 4.27.85.221>
ServerName www.domain.de
ServerAdmin domain-owner
DocumentRoot /home/sites/www.domain.de/web
ServerAlias domain.de
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    !^4.27.85.221(:80)?$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}    !^www.domain.de(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)          http://www.domain.de/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
</VirtualHost> 

<VirtualHost 4.27.85.221>
ServerName sub.domain.de
ServerAdmin sub-owner
DocumentRoot /home/sites/www.domain.de/web/blah
RewriteEngine off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}  !^sub.domain.de(:80)?$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)        http://sub.domain.de/$1 [L,R]
RewriteOptions inherit
</VirtualHost>               

Sorry for misreading your VirtualHost section yesterday morning, I was
obviously blind ;-(

P.S. I send this back to the list too, to correct my mistake.
