NameVirtualHost *:50080

    DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP"
    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias cms.myserver.com



    ServerAdmin administrator@development.localhost
    DocumentRoot "C:/www/HTTP/development"
    ServerName development.localhost 
    ServerAlias development.myserver.com
    ErrorLog "logs/development.localhost-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/development.localhost-access.log" common

Restart Apache to ensure the changes take effect.

Then on your second computer you need to add a custom dns entry for these new domain names. If it is Windows, edit the file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. If it is Linux, edit /etc/hosts. Either way add:

10.0.0.10 development.myserver.com
10.0.0.10 cms.myserver.com

Now on your second computer you should be able to access the following URLs:

http://development.myserver.com:50080
http://cms.myserver.com:50080
