I don't know for sure, but I think mod_tile doesn't interact well with other
apache modules, as it uses the raw URI information. So I suspect it won't
work with apache aliases. However, you can configure the URL under which
mod_tile responds directly.

You can either define it in renderd.conf "URI" parameter, or if you don't
use renderd, you can specify it directly in the mod_tile configuration:
"AddTileConfig /osm123/ default". The latter should then respond under
http://192.168.1.3/osm123/14/8468/5802.png and will look in the tile
directory under default and also connect to renderd/tirex with the style
name default.

Does that solve your problem?
