I've got a very similar config working here:

  <VHost example.com>
    S2S enable
    RequireSSL no

    <Plugin DJabberd::PresenceChecker::Local />
    <Plugin DJabberd::Delivery::Local />

    <Plugin DJabberd::Delivery::LocalVHosts>
      AllowVHost chat.example.com
    </Plugin>

    <Subdomain chat>
      <Plugin DJabberd::Component::External>
        ListenPort 5290
        Secret ConferenceSecret
      </Plugin>
    </Subdomain>

    <Plugin DJabberd::Delivery::S2S   />

    # Various other bits ...

  </VHost>


Not sure if the LocalVHosts part makes a difference, otherwise they look
pretty identical ...

I haven't seen this.

I've seen this as well. Sometimes I seem to need to reconnect to the chat
room once before I see everybody. Not sure whether this is a mu-conference
or a djabberd thing.

FWIW, I'm also seeing mu-conference disconnect overnight about half the
time at the moment. When I come in the mornings I can't connect to the chat
service, and need to restart djabberd, and then restart mu-conference to
get everything back up - restarting mu-conference alone is not sufficient.

I'm using mu-conference 0.7, djabberd svn, and gajim and/or pidgin on the 
client side.

Cheers,
Gavin
