virtualhost

My problem is simply that I have a domain, let's say example.com, and my server's ip address is e.g. 192.168.0.1.

I want to set up 2 different virtual hosts, so when user enters ip address (192.168.0.1) in his browser, he will see content from here: /var/www/staging

But if user will type example.com, he will see content from here: /var/www

I think it's possible but I was playing around with it and couldn't make it work.

Also I don't want to make simple redirection. I know I can, but I need both of my apps (live & staging) working in root on the same server. I can't buy second domain, and I can't associate new ip address.
