Hi,

I usually leave DEFAULT untouched, so I can browse the Apache 
documentation when necessary.  Then I would setup other virtual hosts 
like so:

example.com
192.168.1.2

example2.com
192.168.1.2

When I want to access example2.com, I must access by using the 
example2.com as the URL.  Typing 192.168.1.2 will only bring me to 
the DEFAULT virtualhost.

You can modify the DEFAULT root document to another folder and setup 
a index to point to different virtual hosts like so:

http://192.168.1.2/example.com
http://192.168.1.2/example2.com

Then make alias for DEFAULT virtual host to have alias /example.com 
point to the DocumentRoot of the example.com.

This will give the people ability to access your virtual hosts by 
using the same IP address.
Hope this helps.

regards,
Eric
