Answer 1

You need to run Apache with 2 VirtualHost elements - one for a.com and one for b.com.

Each can point to it's own DocumentRoot

The config will be something like

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
   DocumentRoot "C:\My Sites\Site1"
   ServerName a.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
   DocumentRoot "C:\My Sites\Site2"
   ServerName b.com
</VirtualHost>
