The first VirtualHost will be used whenever users access your site via
other than "http://a.example.com" or "http://b.example.com" (e.g. by
entering "http://120.10.123.123" - this being the IP address of your server)

The following two sites are what you seem to want : use the same
document directory for both sites (subdomains), but set a variable
differently depending on which way people come in.
In thisa case, I used SetEnv, which sets an environment value for
cgi-bin scripts e.g., but with mod_perl you would use PerlSetVar, and
with PHP something else probably.
