This is possible to do. a) DNS is able to use wild cards. You can use a * as the name of the *.example.com in DNS. And this will point all those hosts to that IP http://www.menandmice.com/online_docs_and_faq/glossary/glossarytoc.htm?wildcard.htm b) You want to have multiple hosts definitions. If you look at the apache documentation, you will find a good explanation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/mass.html bascially this example will do what you want: Simple dynamic virtual hosts using mod_rewrite This extract from httpd.conf does the same thing as the first example. The first half is very similar to the corresponding part above but with some changes for backward compatibility and to make the mod_rewrite part work properly; the second half configures mod_rewrite to do the actual work. There are a couple of especially tricky bits: By default, mod_rewrite runs before the other URI translation modules (mod_alias etc.) so if they are used then mod_rewrite must be configured to accommodate them. Also, mome magic must be performed to do a per-dynamic-virtual-host equivalent of ScriptAlias. # get the server name from the Host: header UseCanonicalName Off # splittable logs LogFormat "%{Host}i %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" vcommon CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon <Directory /www/hosts> # ExecCGI is needed here because we can't force # CGI execution in the way that ScriptAlias does Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI </Directory> # now for the hard bit RewriteEngine On # a ServerName derived from a Host: header may be any case at all RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower ## deal with normal documents first: # allow Alias /icons/ to work - repeat for other aliases RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/icons/ # allow CGIs to work RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/ # do the magic RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /www/hosts/${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}}/docs/$1 ## and now deal with CGIs - we have to force a MIME type RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/cgi-bin/ RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /www/hosts/${lowercase:%{SERVER_NAME}}/cgi-bin/$1 [T=application/x-httpd-cgi] ----- John Sechrest .
