as someone else already pointed out, you'll need to use named virtual
hosts for this.  the second half of the solution is to send a redirect
back to the client.  there should be some good writeups on using the
virtual hosts:

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/index.html

and, it seems that mod_alias might be sufficient to the task of
redirection:
