In the httpd.conf (assuming it's called that in your distro), at the bottom
put (it's probably there, commented out)
- note: change 192.168.10.1 to your IP address.

NameVirtualHost 192.168.10.1

<VirtualHost 192.168.10.1>
  ServerName someserver.yourdomain.com
  DocumentRoot /www/someserver_site
  DirectoryIndex index.htm
  ErrorLog logs/someserver_errorlog
  CustomLog logs/someserver_accesslog combined
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost 192.168.10.1>
  ServerName alternative.yourdomain.com
  DocumentRoot /www/alternative_site
  DirectoryIndex index.htm
  ErrorLog logs/alternative_errorlog
  CustomLog logs/alternative_accesslog combined
</VirtualHost>


The "ServerName" directives inform Apache what to look for in the Host
header (passed by pretty much all browsers).  If you want alternatives for
the same site, use "ServerAlias" and then the full host name.


Hope that helps,

Dave.
