To what end? What confusion are you trying to remove by removing the mention of one IP address? I still tend to think that people running network services might need to understand a little bit about networking, but I am willing to be persuaded otherwise. I think.

Michael, I've read your note a few times, and I think I may still be missing what you're getting at here. I'm not clear what you are recommending actually go into this part of the docs to address your "first experience" with vhosts. It is specifically folks' first experience with vhosts that we want to make better. However, most of what you seem to be talking about is running Apache without any vhosts at all. What am I missing? How does this have anything to do with the doc that we are working on here? -- And everyone said, "If we only live, We too will go to sea in a Sieve - To the hills of the Chankly Bore!"
