Sample  Windows Host file entry

                localhost       bala.test1.corp.com

                127.0.0.1     bala.test1.corp.com

                localhost       bala.test2.corp.com

httpd.config Entry

NameVirtualHost *:80

You can hit the url you will be able to see the two different sites as configured.
