I want to have multiple domain names hosted on the same pc. They will have different web sites on them. Will this work with Apache & win9x? How do I configure it?

Your best bet is to use Windows NT Server. The DNS Manager in Windows NT will allow you to set up multiple domains on one machine. Windows 98 has no feature like this. However, I do believe Apache does have a feature where multiple domains can be programmed onto the server. Check here for more info: http://www.apache.org/docs/dns-caveats.html

However, since Apache is really designed for UNIX hosts, you might want to consider MS-Internet Information Server instead, if you need the Windows operating system. Apache does have a version that is compilable and installable on Windows NT/2000, but has not been tested or certified for Windows 9x. You can find more information here: http://www.apache.org/docs/windows.html

VirtualHost: If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them.
# Please see the documentation at
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# If you want to use name-based virtual hosts you need to define at
# least one IP address (and port number) for them.
#
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78:80
#NameVirtualHost 12.34.56.78

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
#
#
# ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/host.some_domain.com
# ServerName host.some_domain.com
# ErrorLog logs/host.some_domain.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/host.some_domain.com-access_log common
