Apache's Named Virtual Server facility is your friend :-)

You can have your regular machine name point to one document root
for administrivia 

	http://squalor/somesite.com/users/
	http://squalor/somesite.com/logs/
while
	http://misery/

has the somesite.com/web/ directory as root ...

Even works on Win*, just add the alternate name(s) to your hosts file
(W2K = /winnt/system32/drivers/etc/hosts), add the virtual server(s)
to your httpd.conf file, restart Apache, and away you go ...

HTH!
