First of all please remember that mod_status is not the only user of the scoreboard, Apache::VMonitor does have a space for vhost :) Of course I do realize that users need to enable mod_status and extended status in order to get to the extra data. But that's fine. So there are two different issues here: 1. patching the scoreboard to collect and store this extra info 2. patching mod_status to use this extra info We can resolve the first issue first and then see how to present this info (the second issue). > A few possibilities come to mind: > * stick the ip/port info in the scoreboard, but don't display it in > mod_status. > * provide a directive that lets you choose between seeing the vhost name or > server IP/port.
