Jonathon,
Thanks so much for your help!! Okay, I have downloaded and installed
Apache. And to my utter surprise...it's working!! You're right, the fact
that it does not have a GUI is the reason I was scared of it. =)
I set the Apache Port option to 8080. Is that good? I stopped the IIS
service. And now I can't get it to restart, not sure why...
I set Bind to *
Should I set the ServerName directive to domain.dev? Or does this have to
be done in the HOSTS file you mentioned?
This is really sweet. =)

>complex...

>NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
><VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
> ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
> ServerName subdomain.domain.com
> DocumentRoot C:\path\to\your\website
></VirtualHost>
