Can you elaborate more the subject line of thread and what you are expecting is confusing, you want to delete lal.com but as per the output file its deleting some other text too.

Code:
awk '/lal.com/ {p="";getline;next} {p=p"\n"$0} NR%4==0{print p;next}' input_file| sed '/^$/d'

Code:
awk 'BEGIN{RS="</VirtualHost>"; ORS=""} /lal/{next}1' httpd.conf | awk '/^$/{print "</VirtualHost>";next}1'

or
Code:
awk 'BEGIN{RS="</VirtualHost>"; ORS=""} /lal/{next}1' httpd.conf | sed 's/^$/<\/VirtualHost>/'
