I'd suggest have 2 virtual host blocks, one with the original information 
and the other for other-domain.

If you specify a namevirtualhost (and it's IP) then you should specify *all*
handled sites in virtual host blocks.

The order you do the blocks also determines the default site to dish out if
the HTTP "host:" header is missing.
