(1) Hosting several web sites on a single IPv4 address.

(2) Create Apache Virtual Hosts for each web site plus one extra.

(3) Assuming the IP address is 1.2.3.4 and that IP address has a host
name of dummy.domain.com *and* no web site is hosted with the name
dummy.domain.com

(4) The 'extra' Apache Virtual Host file contains ....

<VirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80 dummy.domain.com:80>
    DocumentRoot /prod/web/domains/dummy/
    ServerName 1.2.3.4
    CustomLog ............
    ErrorLog  ...........
    HostnameLookups Off

<Directory /prod/web/domains/dummy/>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET" 
    Order Deny,Allow
    Allow from all

    RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*)$          http://127.0.0.1/

</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


(5) Any attempt to access:-

* using the IP address as a web site host name, or

* the host name of the IP address as a web site host name,

is diverted to 127.0.0.1
