a couple questions about virtual hosts in Apache

[Scott]

Hi Tim,

No it doesn't look like a 404 error.  Here is what it says.
Network Error

block quote
Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: ""
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems 
preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a 
later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.
