DocumentRoot can only be set within the server config or a VirtualHost config. So that eliminates all .htaccess, Directory, and Location options. You don't want to change the main server's DocumentRoot, so that leaves VirtualHost.

DocumentRoot /store/htdocs

<VirtualHost site1.testing_server>
DocumentRoot /store/htdocs/site1
ServerName site1.testing_server
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost site2.testing_server>
DocumentRoot /store/htdocs/site2
ServerName site2.testing_server
</VirtualHost>

it depends on what you want to test. On my server the testing_server is just an index page containing 2 frames one that links to all my sites real domain with a target to the second frame wich is 750 by 450 like this i can check for resolution too since most of my users are in a 800x600 resolution.

What do you want to happen if/when someone goes (in)directly to http://www.testing-server/ ?

From what I've seen and know, you cannot set a subdirectory on a domain as a root directory since the user can always go to the domain alone. So the best way would be to do subdomains if they sites don't have their own domain names.
