Check this out from the Handbook - http://drupal.org/node/43816#comment-211492. And also search for multi-site... lots of topics about various configurations.

multiple sites as in several unrelated sites (i.e. different drupal installations), then:

1) Edit your httpd.conf (which is most likely somewhere like C:/Program Files/xampp/apache/conf) and add as many virtual hosts as you want at the bottom of this file.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot "e:/path/to/my/website/folder"
  ServerName my_new_site
</VirtualHost>

2) Edit your hosts file, which is at C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc if you are using xp pro, and add a line for each site:

127.0.0.1	my_new_site

3) Restart apache
