You can simplify this setup like:

	NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80                                                             

	<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>                                                               
		DocumentRoot /www/svgeek                                                                   
		ServerName www.svgeek.com                                                                  
	</VirtualHost>                                                                                 
                                                                                              
	<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80>                                                               
		DocumentRoot /www/bluesky                                                                  
		ServerName www.blueskyinnovations.com                                                      
		ServerAlias www.power-boot.com
	</VirtualHost>                                                                                 

Or if you want to consolidate a set of URLs to a single URL:

	NameVirtualHost *:80

	<VirtualHost *:80>
		ServerName dag.wieers.com
		DocumentRoot /var/www/dag.wieers.com/
	</VirtualHost>

	<VirtualHost *:80>
		ServerName dag.wieers.be
		ServerAlias www.dag.wieers.com www.dag.wieers.be
		Redirect Permanent / http://dag.wieers.com/
	</VirtualHost>

This way you prevent people bookmarking an older URL that might be out of 
use after some timeframe.

Tip: It's also much better for Google, since all links to your site will 
go to a unique location (not spread over different domains holding the 
same content).
