Proper configuration would be to AllowOverrides - that's why
Apache them.  In all the web servers my company runs (around 150
or so), we set the global to be very open and restrict from there
on.  This isn't saying you're wrong, I'm just noting how I do
things and offering up that option.

Perhaps DNS - but doubtful.  Though, the vhost looked to be
configured normally to me.  But I'm obviously not logged in and
looking around.
