Virtual Hosts by IP on DHCP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi. I am running an apache web server on my windows xp machine, just for
development purposes. My computer does not serve pages over the internet.

The machine is running Windows xp professional behind a router with a static
IP address. I also have a domain name, and the DNS is run from another
publicly accessible machine on my network outside the router to manage DNS
on machines also outside the router.

I would just like to run some virtual hosts on my local machine under DHCP
for development purposes. I do have access to other static IPs if that would
make it easier, but I am not interested in anyone accessing these servers
from the public, at all.

I have been reading a lot about Windows loopback, ip aliases, and such. The
apache site tells how to set up IP-based virtual hosts, but I am not sure
how to set up multiple IPs on this computer. I have looked at a SimpleDNS
solution and I've installed and played with loopback on a new LAN
connection, but I feel like I'm barking up the wrong tree and things may be
much simpler than I think. So can anyone supply a simple answer or more good
references I can add to my collection?

Thanks again.
