Are you on your internal network when you do this, or are you coming in
from outside your network?  If you're doing this from inside your
network, you might have a routing issue, though I doubt it, since ftp,
ssh and telnet all work.  If it turns out to be a routing issue, than
it's based on port numbers.  You should try this from outside your
network.  (If you can't because you don't have a facility, either let me
or someone else know your "real" ISP-issued IP#, so we can try it for
you.)  Then...

Try setting up the virtual site not as the Internal address, but as the
IP# given you by your ISP.  Don't do anything else differently.  If this
works, it'll confirm a suspicion I've had about the non-orthodox
approach the RaQ series takes for name-based hosting.  Let me/us know if
it works.
