Server IP resolving to the wrong site
I'm hosting several sites on my Linode with a fairly standard vhost based Apache set up.
Unfortunately, the IP address of the server is resolving to one of the sites and this has been picked up and indexed by Google.
Now when the client searchs for their site by keyword, it comes up listed as the IP address.
The IP is "178.79.137.105" and if you search for "aspire fitness gym essex", you'll see it. The full URL is also indexed:
I've set up a reverse DNS entry via the control panel, which I hoped would resolve the IP to another URL:
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Terry

If you have your virtual hosts in separate files set your centralmediauk.com file to be the first lexicographically i.e. start it with a 00 if they're all in the same file just put that host at the top of the file.
Then restart apache.
The correct aspire site has already been indexed by Google and has only been up for a couple of weeks so hopefully the 301 won't be necessary.
Cheers,
