Sorry, I should have included a bit more info.
I have a single VirtualHost section (config file actually) which lists all the
entries as ServerAlias's.
Part of the requirement is for SEO (search engine optimization) to have 301
rewrites for each old http_host in order for the search engines to see only
one url for each content area. Without the 301, then for example, google
see's service1.old-domain & service1.new-domain as different destinations and
the rankings are cut in half (if it was 50/50 hits)
