That should be the default if you have specified 'owners' in the hosts file and 
configured web logins and passwords for the same names.  Each login other than 
the administrators should only see the hosts they 'own'.  If you've made 
everything look like one machine instead of accessing the hosts directly, 
you'll 
have to make hosts entries that use the alias feature to handle them in the 
normal way.
