Jim,
If what you want is name based hosting for websites, that is daemon
specific
and Apache does support it. In httpd.conf remove any bind <IP>
directives
and any other indication of a "main" server. Then add the following
(assumes
your IP is 100.100.100.5):
NameVirtualHost 100.100.100.5
<VirtualHost 100.100.100.5>
ServerName your.1stdomain.com
ServerAlias alternate.host.name # (Optional)
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 100.100.100.5>
ServerName your.2nddomain.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html
</VirtualHost>
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html for full
details.
And this function of Apache, AFAIK, does not require kernel level IP
Aliasing support as name based hosting is handled by the daemon
receiving
the request. The abovce URL also includes some sample config that allow
for mass virtualhosting with minimal config such as:
http://<username>.users.yourdomain.com/
With a docroot of /home/<username>/public_html
Add a DNS 'A' entry in you domains zone file like:
*.users IN A 100.100.100.5
And you have "instant" stylized URLs, just add users.
