Creating Subdomain on Local LAMP Stack With Dynamic IP

[Muel]

As the title really. I have a LAMP stack installed locally, so the IP address changes all the time.

I want to be able to create sub-domains so that I can browser to <subdomain name>.localhost

I've googled and couldn't find anything, tried everything I can think of out and no luck. Help?

This is on Ubuntu, not windows but thanks.

I've tried adding new entries to the httpd.conf file, but it won't work. Wondered if there was anything specific I had to do because of the dynamic ip?

I dunno if modrewrite would work when using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in a php script?
