hi, well i've never done that before either so there ya go big disclaimer.
anyway what i suspect needs to be done is to get the dns admin of the
remote site to associate the fully qualified domain name (say,
www.hissite.org) with the ip you've assign to it (btw this ip has to be
unique and not the same as your webserver's ip address), then in the
apache config (httpd.conf), add something like:
<VirtualHost ip.address.of.hissite.org>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/hissite
ServerName www.hissite.org
UserDir public_html
</VirtualHost>
