mod_vhost_alias takes the requested URL and matches a directory on the
server. The point of using mod_vhost_alias is so you don't have to
create vritual host record for each site on your server.
my domain is setup as a wildcard domain, so *.mydomain.com will not
produce a DNS error.

Hi - I'd like to setup a meaningful error page for a virtual host
that uses mod_vhost_alias. If a visitor enters a url that doesn't
exist on the server they're served a custom error page.
Here's a simple example:
The vhost has:
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/html/customer/%1
Requests for http://samplesite.mydomain.com will serve
/var/www/html/customer/samplesite/index.html
However, if the user makes a mistake and enters
"amplesite.mydomain.com" apache throws an error.
My question is how to catch these cases and show a friendly error
page rather than an ugly apache error?
Thanks,
Graham

I think you might be confused here.
The example you are giving would likely not even get to Apache in the
first place as it is likely to be a DNS error you are getting as the
"amplesite.mydomain.com" subdomain probably does not have a DNS entry.
To verify this, see if you get a valid IP address when you query DNS
using nslookup or dig for the "amplesite.mydomain.com" host.
