I Can't figure this out...

I've got my apache server running a windows xp system...
now i've set 4 domains to point to the server IP with an A record.

How do i configure apache to get the domain and forward to a specific forder?
I know you can do this with Virtual Hosting but that means i'll have to restart the server everytime.

Please Help

Check out mod_vhost_alias:

OK LOOK.
I have 
www.ywait.co.za
www.tipmail.co.za

they both are pointing to 196.199.13.16  <-- MY IP

Now I want apache to recognise www.ywait.co.za and use the directory /usr/www/ywait
same for www.tipmail.co.za use dir to /usr/www/tipmail

How do i set this up with apache... there is an easier way than   virtual hosting... with virtual hosting your have to restart the server everytime you add a virtual host.... there is something that you just add the directory and then apache will user the directory according to the domain....
