These are not working because only the first virtualhost container
matches your NameVirtualHost statement.
once you have this statement in your config, all content is served from
virtualhost containers matching *:60163
if none match, the first defined one is used.
rewrite them all to say
<VirtualHost *:60163>
ServerName my.server.name
DocumentRoot /path/to/data
</VirtualHost>
and hopefully all should be well.
Assuming that all your 'ServerName' hostnames resolve to your IP address.
