Not only that, but I also decided to set up a few TLDs to separate my sites. I use .ppm for my personal and freelance sites, .dev for my experimental stuff, and .bsi for my company work. This allows me to separate sites like so:
```
Sites
|-- bsi
|   |-- this
|   |-- that
|   `-- theother
|-- dev
|   |-- experiment1
|   |-- experiment2
|   |-- youget
|   `-- thepoint
`-- ppm
    |-- postpostmodern
    `-- littlebeestudio
```
You can set up TLDs to resolve to your local IP address. So, anything.dev and anything.test will automatically stay local.

- Johns comment (#30) has a typo in it. The proper directory for ZeroConf/Bonjour to work is not /etc/resolve it is /etc/resolver

Some downloadable PHP software packages use mod_rewrite to do dynamic URL rewriting. If the rewrite directives (contained in .htaccess files) seem to make your website hang indefinitely, they are probably causing an infinite loop. You can fix this by adding a "RewriteBase" directive to the .htaccess file that has your other rewrite directives.

My aha moment with Apache VirtualDocumentRoots

Apache typically will pick the first virtual host whose ServerName or ServerAlias matches the host name provided in the Host HTTP header. In your case, since you have no ServerName directives, Apache supposedly uses a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address to fake a server name, and presuming that the reverse DNS leads to domain.com, which doesn't match, Apache then defaults to the first virtual host. Sounds complicated, I know... the bottom line is, you should use ServerName and ServerAlias to make the configuration explicit. Try something more like this:

An install profile allows you to build a standard toolkit for your new Drupal sites. Supposing you always do articles the same way, photo galleries the same way, have the same elaborate Contact Us page built with Webform - that can all be placed in an install profile to make future projects quicker.
You can use table prefixes, which lets you use the same database for multiple purposes, including multiple Drupal sites. Or maybe you want to share the user tables across multiple sites..

- All change are in code so can be tracked in your revision management system,
- You have to write all of your desired functionality in code, which can get rather verbose.
- Thankfully you can export content type definitions, Views, Panels and even ImageCache profiles, so those can be put into code very easily & quickly,
