Please help with Apache virtual servers and DNS trouble (I think)

Yes, tld (Top Level Domain) = .net. Your domain name is dalescort.net, and ‘www’ (and others) are called hosts (which in DNS terminology are either A records or CNAMEs, if they refer to another A record).

I think you need a ServerName directive in your VirtualHost setup, so in the above example ServerName mantisbt.dalescott.net <http://mantisbt.dalescott.net/>. Without that directive my hosts don’t work.
