WampServer

I have been all over the Web looking for answers on this. I did find something here but it does not seem to fit my scenerio. I run Windows 7 64 bit with IIS 7.5 under localhost. WAMP is under localhost:8080. I found that I can configure hosts 127.0.0.1:8080 with a second WP website. I can remove the # in front of Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf line in the httpd.conf file. I already have it listening to :8080. However, where I am getting confused is in the httpd-vhosts.conf file. Here is what I currently have.

#
# Virtual Hosts
#
# If you want to maintain multiple domains/hostnames on your
# machine you can setup VirtualHost containers for them. Most configurations
# use only name-based virtual hosts so the server doesn't need to worry about
# IP addresses. This is indicated by the asterisks in the directives below.
#
# Please see the documentation at
# <URL:[httpd.apache.org];
# for further details before you try to setup virtual hosts.
#
# You may use the command line option '-S' to verify your virtual host
# configuration.

#
# Use name-based virtual hosting.
#
NameVirtualHost *:80

#
# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for all requests that do not
# match a ServerName or ServerAlias in any <VirtualHost> block.
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache2/docs/dummy-host.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host.example.com
ServerAlias www.dummy-host.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host2.example.com
DocumentRoot "c:/Apache2/docs/dummy-host2.example.com"
ServerName dummy-host2.example.com
ErrorLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/dummy-host2.example.com-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

On this site - [sumtips.com] - it says to use this code at the end.
'
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
ErrorLog "logs/localhost-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/localhost-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
#ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/mysite"
ServerName mysite
ErrorLog "logs/mysite-error.log"
CustomLog "logs/mysite-access.log" common
<directory "c:/wamp/www/mysite">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</directory>
</VirtualHost>

There are actually more instructions for the hosts file like adding -
127.0.0.1 mysite
127.0.0.1 myothersite
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain

which as I stated before I changed the 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1:8080 and then added the names of my WP sites. In the example above do I change all the instances of "mysite" to the actual WP site name? If I have several WP sites that I am testing, do I add more lines as above? Do I change the VirtualHost*:80 to VirtualHost*:8080? I use Dreamweaver CS5.5 as my editor and want to work with multiple WP sites instead of only being able to run one at a time so I don't run into local server problems.Please help me figure this out.

Also on the same site is this - [sumtips.com]. From what I have read I don't need to set up sub domains. I am testing several different sites for different clients before I go live with them. With IIS I can have as many sites as I want and I don't have to tweak anything. This is confusing me. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your reply but this still doesn't help me with the dilemma of running IIS on localhost and WAMP on localhost:8080 and what I REALLY need to change in order to get this to work for my situation.
