I have several dummy domains set up on my machine.  I think your 
problem is that you're missing the first VirtualHost directive, which 
is the base one for the server (where the "Hey, your Apache install 
worked" page ends up).

Then, you can append the other virtual hosts.

And. here's my relevant snippet from httpd.conf:

---
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName 127.0.0.1
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents
</VirtualHost>

Include /private/etc/httpd/vhosts
---

That first virtual host needs to be declared and then your others are 
handled separately.


So, inside the vhosts directory, I have several text files, each 
containing a virtual host directive.  Here's one:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
ServerName www.clientname.me
DocumentRoot /Library/WebServer/Documents/clientname
</VirtualHost>

They all have different directories.

(These are from dummy domains that I set up on my laptop to mirror my 
client's real ones, but in principle they work exactly the same with 
a server that's serving to other machines.)

Just make sure the other machines know where to go to see www.testserver.com.

Hope that helps.  I am by no means an Apache server admin, but this 
works for me.
