It's intriguing why alternate docroot does not work. Jan -- do you know?
Maybe you need to deploy an application and then Request with have enough
information to be able to serve it from alt docroot? I don't know.

Also, I think you can file an RFE against admin console to better assist
you in defining alternate docroots. As you can see, it does have a property
sheet, but you need to know the exact syntax for the alt docroot specification.
