Suppose we just make _default_ a synonym of * in virtual host hostnames? Eric brought this up a while back, with little response at the time.
Right now, you can only use "*" in the hostname of a name-based virtual host, and only use "_default_" in the hostname of an IP-based virtual host. Their meanings are similar already, and any subtle differences in how we've defined them aren't really relevant, since you can't use both in the same virtual host anyway, so there's never any need to distinguish them. So, I'm proposing we simplify the code, and documentation, by making _default_ just another name for *, and maybe if we see _default_, issuing a warning that its use is deprecated. Thoughts? Dan
