Floating IP (Hetzner) and DNS-Settings - help understand the workflow

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu Linux 20.04.5

I have an Server on Hetzner, which has the IP 49.12.xx.xx AND a FloatingIP: 78.47.xx.xx.
I’ve configured Virtualmin Addresses & Networking > Shared IP Addresses in this way:

If I do create a new Virtual-Server and keep all “IP-Settings” as it is:

If I look into the DNS-Records I found the general IP Address of the Server, instead of the floating-ip:

I think apache should listen on the floating-ip for this domain… else it wouldn’t make sense to have an floating-ip, or am I wrong?

May the issue be caused of a miss-configuration of my virtualmin, or is it needed to set IP address and forwarding > External IP address manually for each new Virtualserver I do setup?

BTW: If I go to Edit Virtual-Server I see this:

And if I go to Change IP Address I see this:

Isn’t it strange, that on the last Dialog External IP address is manually set to 49.12.xx while 78.47.xx is described as Same as real address?
