Access Apache virtual hosts from WAN

Question

I have a few Apache virtual hosts set up. I'd like to access them from the outside. I found an article, Port-based Apache virtual hosts, that explained that you can tell each to listen on a specific port:

Listen 10080 <VirtualHost *:80 *:10080> DocumentRoot "/Users/.../public_html" ServerName www.foo.com <Directory "/Users/.../public_html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> </VirtualHost>

Each would need a Listen <unique port> and I'd have to forward each port on my router. So the result would be:

http://<my ip address>:10080
http://<my ip address>:10081
http://<my ip address>:10082
etc...

Is there a better solution?

You are looking for "name based virtual hosts".
