I'd guess that perhaps you have a transparent proxy on your firewall 
which is not forwarding Host: headers.

Sniff your traffic as it arrives at your server.  My favourite quick and 
dirty way of doing this is to run netcat listening on port 80 like so:

# nc -vv -l -p 80

And then request a page from outside your firewall, and watch what gets 
dumped to your terminal.  You could alternatively use shane's tcpwatch 
(do a search for it) or tcpdump or something like that to watch the 
whole server - client conversation.

BTW, the 'recommended' way of doing the apache/virtualhost thing is to 
use virtualhostmonsters:

or you could do it all in zope using:
