No. And you'll probably have problems anyway with what you have.

Each list has a hidden 'web_page_url' attribute. See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/mIA9> for more detail on this.


If VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW is On, the only lists that appear on the
listinfo and admin overview pages are those for which the host name in
web_page_url matches the host name in the URL that invoked the page.
If VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW is Off, all public list appear on the
overview pages regardless of invoking URL.

So setting VIRTUAL_HOSTS_OVERVIEW = Off has solved your overview issue,
but web_page_url is used as the initial part of lots of links on
various pages, so if the host in web_page_url is lists..., those links
won't work from the outside where the host needs to be www.lists...

You really need to have one host name which is set as DEFAULT_URL_HOST
and is probably the www.lists... host and which is used for both
internal and external access.
