If you have followed Damion's directions it should be working. I was trying
it myself today. When you do a 'netstat -nl' command on the hosting server
you should see each VS listening on a different port, but not tied to a
specific IP, ie 0.0.0.0:8081, 0.0.0.0:8082, 0.0.0.0:8083... It does not
require any modification of the virtual host directives.
