[TriLUG] apache: different DocumentRoot for different IPs

[Matt Flyer]

I can think of two things off hand:

1) Have you tried putting the IP address in the VirtualHost declaration
line to tell Apache that this IP address is associated with this host? 
For example <VirtualHost your gateway IP:80>  I think this is what you
were trying to do with your webcams.mack.net, but I am not sure if that
works or not.

2) Do you have a default host e.g. <VirtualHost *:80> declaration above
this that could be matching before your other host is being checked?
