[TriLUG] Hosts file entry for Name-based Virtual Host

I'm trying to set up a name-based virtual host for my own local development 
and testing purposes.

As instructed by the Apache2 documentation, I have put the following in the 
config file (actually the Vhosts.conf which is linked to httpd2.conf by an 
include):

#Listen for virtual host requests on all IP addresses
NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
   DocumentRoot /home/amos/www/php
   ServerName www.php.com
</VirtualHost>

Now, I need to put an entry in the hosts file.

Based on the above information, what should I add to the hosts file?

As I recall, I think it only has one line at the moment:

127.0.0.1

If anyone can verify that what I've done so far is correct and what to do 
next, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
