You've got <VirtualHost 203.8.116.41> - try changing that to <VirtualHost
www.ptcc.it.net.au>

Apache tends to look at the name after VirtualHost as well as the
"ServerName" for names to match to - whenever I set up a virtual domain I
always set it up with
<VirtualHost domainname.com.au>
ServerName www.domainname.com.au

and the end result is both "domainname.com.au" and "www.domainname.com.au"
are matched.
(oh and I don't give each virtual host a static IP - figured most browsers
these days pass a "Host:" header. Haven't had any complaints _yet_ and it
saves me over 60 IP addresses, which I don't have a great deal of. (at
least not in the network my webservers are in))
