The problem is that when you're doing virtual hosting with a shared IP,
the browser has no idea which site to serve; it can't check by name,
because "www.abc.com.ar" is NOT the same as "www.abc.com".

Fix this by adding a ServerAlias line:

ServerAlias www.abc.com.ar

to the VirtualHost section for "www.abc.com" in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, and then restarting apache as follows:

# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid`

Note that those are NOT usuall single quotes, but rather the key to the
left of the "1" key.
