Apache: Client-IP-based DocumentRoot
Solution 1
You can do this with a RewriteRule preceded by a RewriteCond that checks the remote_addr (remember using % for the vars, not $:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Servername somedomain.tld
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 10.2.1.4
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /var/www/pages-1/$1
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} 10.3.0.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /var/www/pages-2/$1
</VirtualHost>
Solution 2
It won't be possible to change the document root, but you can rewrite the URL based on the client IP, something like...(not tested)...
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^10\.3\.0\.
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /pages-2/$1 [P,L]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^10\.2\.1\.4$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /pages-1/$1 [P,L]
Although it might be simpler to use an external rewriting program if the number of IP addresses is very large.

I don't know if this could be possible on apache yet, I've done hefty amount of research before coming here. but:
I have a VirtualHost running at **:80*, ServerName to somedomain.tld. What I want to achieve is if client 10.2.1.4 accesses somedomain.tld, the client will be served content from DocumentRoot /var/www/pages-1/. Then if 10.3.0.* accesses the same somedomain.tld, the client will get content from DocumentRoot /var/www/pages-2/. Is there any way to achieve this currently?
