Here's how we do it on RaQs...

We us a separate IP#.

We have only one site set up at that IP#.  It's the "freeparking" site.

We point all the sites we want going to "freeparking" to that IP#.

In the Virtual Site block for the freeparking site, in
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, we change the line:

RewriteEngine on

to:

RewriteEngine off

OR...

Since the default is "off", you can just comment out the five lines
beginning with "Rewrite"; to do that just place a "#" mark (without the
quotes) at the beginning of each of these lines.  We do NOT recommend
deleting the lines; that removes the documentation of what you've done.
