I have 2 websites running on my local machine that I'd like to view from other machines on the same network.

For /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.com:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/answers/app/webroot
DirectoryIndex index.php

<Directory "/var/www/answers/app/webroot">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


For /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.com:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName site2.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/answers2/app/webroot
DirectoryIndex index.php

<Directory "/var/www/answers2/app/webroot">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>


I have added 2 entries in the /etc/hosts file as:

127.0.0.1 site1.com
127.0.0.1 site2.com


Now, when I point the browser on my machine to site1.com, it shows me the first site and pointing the browser to site2.com, it shows me the second site.

However,when I type in the local IP of my machine in the browser, it always shows site2. How can I change it to switch between site1 and site2 ? Is there a way that I can view both the sites form another machine (esp. mobile devices over wireless network) ?
