According to the FAQ, Apache listens to all interfaces by default (which, of course, doesn't make sense of why they then put in a Listen directive! - I kept reading - it's more for adding other ports than interfaces/IPs)

Quote:

Reduce the number of Listen directives. If there are no other servers running on the machine on the same port then you normally don't need any Listen directives at all. By default Apache listens to all addresses on port 80.

Listen directive may work - I have no way of testing.

Note what FAQ question 18 states -

Quote:

Why can I access my website from the server or from my local network, but I can't access it from elsewhere on the Internet?
There are many possible reasons for this, and almost all of them are related to the configuration of your network, not the configuration of the Apache HTTP Server. One of the most common problems is that a firewall blocks access to the default HTTP port 80. In particular, many consumer ISPs block access to this port. You can see if this is the case by changing any Port and Listen directives in httpd.conf to use port 8000 and then request your site using http://yourhost.example.com:8000/. (Of course, a very restrictive firewall may block this port as well.)

APACHECTL(8)							     apachectl							      APACHECTL(8)

NAME

       apachectl - Apache HTTP Server Control Interface

SYNOPSIS

       When acting in pass-through mode, apachectl can take all the arguments available for the httpd binary.

       apachectl [ httpd-argument ]

       When acting in SysV init mode, apachectl takes simple, one-word commands, defined below.

       apachectl command

SUMMARY

       apachectl  is  a  front	end  to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the administrator control the
       functioning of the Apache httpd daemon.

       The apachectl script can operate in two modes. First, it can act as a simple front-end to the httpd command that simply sets any  necessary
       environment  variables and then invokes httpd, passing through any command line arguments. Second, apachectl can act as a SysV init script,
       taking simple one-word arguments like start, restart, and stop, and translating them into appropriate signals to httpd.

       If your Apache installation uses non-standard paths, you will need to edit the apachectl script to set the appropriate paths to	the  httpd
       binary. You can also specify any necessary httpd command line arguments. See the comments in the script for details.

       The apachectl script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script.

OPTIONS

       Only the SysV init-style options are defined here. Other arguments are defined on the httpd manual page.

       start  Loads the org.apache.httpd launchd job.

       stop, graceful-stop
	      Unloads the org.apache.httpd launchd job.

       restart, graceful
	      Unloads, then loads the org.apache.httpd launchd job.

       fullstatus
	      Displays a full status report from mod_status. For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled on your server and a text-based
	      browser such as lynx available on your system. The URL used to access the status report can be set by editing the STATUSURL variable
	      in the script.

       status Displays	a  brief status report. Similar to the fullstatus option, except that the list of requests currently being served is omit-
	      ted.

       configtest
	      Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration files and either reports Syntax Ok or detailed	information  about
	      the particular syntax error. This is equivalent to apachectl -t.

       The following option was available in earlier versions but has been removed.

       startssl
	      To  start httpd with SSL support, you should edit your configuration file to include the relevant directives and then use the normal
	      apachectl start.
