I'm afraid I unwittingly broke something by adding a DNS entry for "conference".osgeo.org this morning. I had a nice little vhosts file for the conference but somehow it took over www.osgeo.org!?
Now that I've removed the vhost and restart httpd, it shows a dead site. So, I suppose it was actually trouble at the DNS side, so I also removed the conference name from the DNS. So from our systems side everything is back to the way it was.
I don't understand what happened, but assume I've got to wait the 6 hours for the DNS to propagate before it is fixed. Can anyone give me more insight on what is happening in case there is something I'm overlooking?

All resolved, thanks to Chris' advice, he pointed out the I had accidentally used a wrong comment character in php.ini when changing memory_limit earlier. So that was killing Drupal, not vhosts or DNS. Thanks for the help Frank and Chris.
Seems like my DNS alarm was not necessary after all... whew
