Two things you might try:

  -- You need a 'NameVirtualHost' directive somewhere if you're going
     to be doing name based virtual hosting.

        http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost

  -- The <VirtualHost ...> directive contains a list of IP numbers
     where those domains will be served from.  Typically this will be
     '*' in all cases, to serve the data from all available
     interfaces.

        http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#virtualhost
        http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html

     It's the ServerName and ServerAlias directives within the
     VirtualHost definition that determine which server will respond
     to a request.  You should probably put the fully qualified domain
     name in as the ServerName and add the shortened version as a
     ServerAlias:

     NameVirtualHost *
 
     # First v-host is the default
     <VirtualHost *>
         ServerName   localwww.toontown.local
         ServerAlias  localwww *.toontown.local
         DocumentRoot "/webs/www.toontown.local"
     </VirtualHost>

     <VirtualHost *>
         ServerName   phpmyadmin.toontown.local
         ServerAlias  phpmyadmin
         DocumentRoot "/webs/phpMyAdmin"
     </VirtualHost>

	Cheers,

	Matthew
