I am trying to reproduce this setup for PHP development which will
manage separate hosts running separate apps (Drupal, MediaWiki, etc).
If I try to use Apache VirtualHosts I get stuck - I know I could set up
www.example1.com and www.example2.com as separate entries but that means
messing externally with with the IP addresses/hostnames. Is this
possible with a rewrite rule? I.e., if you see
http://localhost:8010/{$hostname} you really mean ServerName={$hostname}
in httpd.conf?
Any smarter solutions very welcome, thanks.

Just put the php apps in separate directories under your DocumentRoot.
No need for several virtual hosts. The only hitch could be if the apps
make assumptions about being able to use absolute URLs (starting in
/).

An alternative is port-based virtual hosts with a reverse proxy and
possibly mod_proxy_html to correct links. (Put each webapp on a
high-numbered port, and then use ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse on
port 80 to pass requests back to the webapps.)
