I started doing this 4 years ago, and I'm still doing it.  It's easy to
hack apache to chroot itself into /chrootdir/192.168.1.1.  Note that
you'll need to start a separate instance of apache for each VWS.  It's
also easy to hack inetd to use getsockname(2) to find out the local IP
address and chroot in the child before execing telnetd or ftpd. 

This is getting to be a FAQ.  Maybe I should write a Handbook section on
it....
