You need to the following:

Access your httpd.conf (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf).  Best way is via ssh.
Make a copy of your httpd.conf file, just in case you screw things up (cp
httpd.conf httpd.conf.old)
Find your clients site, then in their configuration you'll find the
following line:
   AliasMatch ^/~([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/site1/users/$1/web/$3
Add the following line after the line above
   AliasMatch ^/sites/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3

Save changes.

Now your clients can access their site prior to propogation via the
following url:
   http://whateveryourservernameis/sites/www.theirdomain/

Hope this helps
