Are you looking for a way to access lighttpd using name-based virtual  
hosts? If you have multiple names (eg: foo.local and bar.local)  
mapped to the same IP address (eg: 127.0.0.1), you'll need to set up  
lighttpd for virtual hosting:

virtual-hosting.html

You'll then need to manually update the /etc/hosts file to add the  
extra names to the 127.0.0.1 address (or whichever address you want  
to run the virtual hosts from).
