Sure, this can be a bit confusing.  The trick is to run confarc with the
-vhost switch for each different virtual host you want to create an archive
for.  For example, you might run

	confarc -vhost www.mysite1.com

Now one of the prompts should ask for the document root for that server,
and will create a file called

	www.mysite1.com.wgsiteconf

in the webglimpse home directory.  You can edit this file later to make
sure the settings are correct.  The document root in that file will control
the translations between urls & paths in the new archive.

Hope that helps...
