Here's something similar to what I submitted a while ago, but in more
detail, for the Virtual Host section of the documentation, the examples
document:

[rbowen@buglet vhosts]$ cvs diff -u examples.html

+ The server machine has two IP addresses
(<SAMP>192.168.1.1</SAMP>

+ an internal (intranet) network and an external (internet)
network.
+ Outside of the network, the name <SAMP>server1.domain.tld</SAMP>

but
+ inside the network, that same name resolves to the internal
+ address (<SAMP>192.168.1.1</SAMP>).<P>

+ The server can be made to respond to internal and external
+ requests with the same content, with just one
<CODE>VirtualHost</CODE>
