Really?  machine.com resolves to a 12.x.x.x address and www.machine.com
doesn't resolve at all.  Unless you're using your own DNS service which
resolves them differently OR you've buggered your /etc/hosts file, I
don't see how you'd even hit your machine.  First things first...see
if you can ping www.machine.com and see which IP address responds.
Also verify that apache is actually running...if it can't resolve its
IP, it won't start.
