My guess is that this is where your problem lies.  The registrar is
redirecting web browsers to your web site using your IP address.  Therefore,
the web server never sees a request for a specific domain and responds with
the default (first) virtual host entry.

I would recommend getting true DNS entries setup.  DynDns
(http://www.dyndns.org) offers a 'Custom DNS' with which you can setup A
records for your domain that can be dynamically updated with a client that
runs on your computer.  However, there is a $30 one time fee for each domain
that they host for you.  (I'm mentioning this service because your 24.31.x.x
IP looks like it's probably a dynamic IP assigned by Road Runner.  If you do
have a static IP, you can go with any DNS hosting provider.)

I may be wrong, since this is all speculation on my part.  I would inspect
your web server's logs to find out what exactly is going on.
