Okay, I'll see if I can test that.

However, if I got directly to the host with the IP address, shouldn't
it go to the VirtualHost that the ServerName is the hostname for?
Meaning, the host is named "machine1" and I go to it via
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, it ends up in the DocRoot of "machine2" instead,
which is a CNAME record.

How can I reliably test this without the host header... perhaps on the
command line.

On my other FreeBSD system, the above works correctly - if someone
goes to my machine via IP, it goes to the _default_ docroot, not to
anything else. Maybe I'll need to backtrack and replace the:

<VirtualHost *:80>

with

<VirtualHost machine.name.com:80>

and muck with the DocumentRoot to see what happens.
