1. alias the address to your ethernet adapter. CAUTION: be VERY careful
with the ifconfig command; you will be left high and dry if you forget
the alias at the end (trust me I know)

ifconfig ef0 inet www.whatever.com netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

-it may report "file already exists"/something like that. That is normal

2. add the route to it

route add www.whatever.com localhost -static

Other than the VirtualHost entry in httpd.conf, that's about it.

Check for the entry using 'netstat -r', and also don't forget to add
the r-arp entry.
