Actually I just posted a title "Two Domains, Two Emails, same site"
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users/2001-July/047557.html

I set up a sub domain to point to my /home/sites directory

DocumentRoot /home/sites

So I could then just type my sub domain name in my browser and
see any site.

Example:

http://temp.mainsite.com/www.newsite.com/web/

This link would bring up the new site, for viewing purposes.

Works great!

Joe I think!
