Is your boss running an old version of IE? Does he have HTTP 1.1 turned
off? AFAIK, the Host header isn't part of the 1.0 spec. Is he accessing
the site by IP and not domain name?
Basically, Name Based Virtual Hosts look at the Host: header sent in the
request, and serves up content based on that. If your boss' browser isn't
sending this header, or sending a Host header of just the IP address, then
he will get the default Host.
You may have to turn on some logging in Apache or start sniffing packets
(tcpdump works ok, I think there are better ones out there?) from your boss'
computer to see what's going on here.
If these are really critical domains, I would suggest moving to IP based
hosts.
