I guess when I had all the root folders for the websites under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cfdocs\website\index.cfm they were automatically under the localhost, which is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot...
I would view them like http://localhost/cfdocs/website/index.cfm. Now that the sites are on another drive, and not under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot, they're not in the localhost path. I'll just create virtual directories when I'm ready for a client to view via the Internet, but not through their domain, as in http://DefaultWebsite/Website/index.cfm, then, when it's completed, I'll put it in as a new website and use the host headers to direct traffic. When I mentioned "viewing them locally using localhost", I was referring to the time when I was developing sites on my development box, not the server. However, that practice may change, too, as I try to mirror my development folder structure with my server structure and practices...

The physical location of the files is unrelated to the use of separate virtual servers using Host headers. I'm not sure what you mean by "viewing them locally using localhost", since that implies that you're typing something like "http://localhost/somethingorother/"; in which case you're not using Host headers unless you've defined your virtual web server to look for "localhost" specifically within the Host header.
