Actually, I really pleasant thing would be to set up automatically
forwarding web pages.
E.g. you have access to:
www.abc.def.com
and you set up
http://www.abc.def.com/~zzz/index.html
to automatically transfer the browser visiting it to
http://www.zzz.abc.def.com/index.html
without the user having to do an extra click.
(Even better if the forwarding link could automatically inform the
owner of the web page that the user referenced
http://www.abc.def.com/~zzz/index.html on that it had an obsolete
link, which should be updated.)

Yes, you can setup your box as multiple virtual machines (with multiple
ip addresses and FQDNs), and configure your webserver (srm.conf) so that
for www.zzz.abc.def.com the webserver (NCSA prefered) will retrieve
index.html from ~zzz.
