Forgive me for not answering your question directly;
I'm going to suggest something else; it's possibly better,
and will eliminate a few issues regarding your network
setup in general:

Why not try name-based virtual hosting?  Set up
the following in httpd.conf and restart Apache:


    #
    # Use name-based virtual hosting.
    #
    NameVirtualHost *:80

    # VirtualHost example:
    # Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
    # The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
    # server name.
    #
    <VirtualHost *>
        ServerName my.examplesite.net
        DocumentRoot /path/to/mydocs
        ServerAdmin me@myhost
    # whatever else, log files, etc
   </VirtualHost>

Then set the hosts files on both server and
clients (esp. clients) something like:

    # Dummy entries for intranet and test sites

        10.0.0.27   my.examplesite.net
        10.0.0.27   my.otherexample.org

Access the sites using the names you've
assigned...

    http://my.examplesite.net/login.php
