[TriLUG] Apache Virtual hosts

[Ron Young]

Matt,

What you seem to be saying based on my reading (and obviously not enough
knowledge) describes IP-based vhosts vs. name-based vhosting.

With name-based vhosting I should be able to have a server with one IP
address hosting several virtual web sites based on the Host: header
(whatever that is if it's not the stuff in the address field of my
browser).  This way apache decides which vhost to serve based on the name
rather than the IP address a name might resolve to.

In my case I am limited (I think) to one IP address for my domain as
rendered by DynDNS.
