Virtualhost For Wildcard Subdomain and Static Subdomain

Question

I have an odd situation where I want to have the URLs app1.example.com, example.com and *.example.com all using a different virtual host. This is what I have (excluding example.com because it just makes it messier).

<VirtualHost *>   ServerName app1.example.com   ServerAlias app1.example.com    DocumentRoot = /var/www/app1   # Other configuration for this app here  </VirtualHost>  <VirtualHost *>   ServerName wildcard.example.com   ServerAlias *.example.com    DocumentRoot = /var/www/wildcard   # other configuration for this app here  </VirtualHost> 

The problem is that they conflict. Whichever one is listed first wins out. How can I host both a wildcard virtualhost and a specific one?

Note: I'm not just changing DocumentRoot in the config, so using mod_rewrite to change the DocumentRoot variable does not fix it.

<VirtualHost *:80>   DocumentRoot /var/www/app1   ServerName app1.example.com </VirtualHost>  <VirtualHost *:80>   DocumentRoot /var/www/example   ServerName example.com </VirtualHost>  <VirtualHost *:80>   DocumentRoot /var/www/wildcard   ServerName other.example.com   ServerAlias *.example.com </VirtualHost> 

Should work. The first entry will become the default if you don't get an explicit match. So if you had app.otherexample.com point to it, it would be caught be app1.example.com.
