I get the impression that you're experimenting with a custom setup --
Maybe it's a good idea to get a conventional XS + XO setup in
parallel, so you can see how it works when it works, and then you can
compare it with your setup.

Either way -- enable debug on that config file, restart apache and the
apache logs will tell us what's happening.
