e.g. create these...
	/var/www/127.0.0.1
	/var/www/127.0.0.2

add this to /etc/hosts...
127.0.0.1 <system name> localhost
127.0.0.2 <virtual system name> localhost

request for http://<virtual system name>/ will be served out of
/var/www/127.0.0.2

So, you can't serve out of /var/www/peter, but you can do
http://peter/ and get stuff from /var/www/127.0.0.2, if you put:
	127.0.0.2 peter localhost
in /etc/hosts.
