Apache - how to map prefixes to different director

Question

Is it possible to configure Apache to allow different prefixes (instead of www) to map to different directories in the file system? For example...

I have two different environments on my webserver:

  /home/me/test/web : Test Environment
  /home/production/web : Production Environment

I would like these to map to these urls:

  test.mysite.com -> /home/me/test/web
  prod.mysite.com -> /home/production/web

However, nothing I've tried with VirtualHosts has worked:

  NameVirtualHost *:80

  <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName test.mysite.com
      ** Some SetEnvs **
  </VirtualHost>

  <VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName prod.mysite.com
      ** Different SetEnvs **
  </VirtualHost>

This throws the following error:

  [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 80, the first has precedence

Is this kind of configuration even possible with Apache, or am I doing something wrong? Also, some clarification - simple rewriting with a virtualhosts file probably won't fit either. It works for straight directory stuff, but then I can't use any SetEnv directives like I could within a VirtualHost section.

Should be : not .:

NameVirtualHost *:80
