You must use the [code] [/code] tag pair:

[code]
<VirtualHost 192.168.100.1:80>
         blah blah
         <Location /server-status>
             blah blah
          </Location>
          blah blah
      </VirtualHost>
[/code]

I have such trouble with this from users that I added huge, ugly 
warnings to my submission page:

Seems to help a bit, but not everyone seems to read even that ugly red 
text! :)
