If you add the 3rd line (below) to the httpd.conf entry for one of your
sites (I have included a couple of std lines to demonstrate where it might
go) - say domain.com you will be able to reference
www.domain.com/usersites/www.newdomain.com or even
www.domain.com/usersites/www.newdomain.com/page.html and see the site

make sure you backup http.conf first !

AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site#/users/$1/web/$3
AliasMatch ^/users/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site#/users/$1/web/$3
AliasMatch ^/usersites/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3
