More specifically, this is called "Name Virtual Hosting".
A very basic entry would be something like:
NameVirtualHost 10.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>
ServerName www.a.com
DocumentRoot /home/a-com/html
</VirtualHost>
or you can even do:
<VirtualHost www.a.com>
ServerName www.a.com
DocumentRoot /home/a-com/html
</VirtualHost>
The NameVirtualHost directive must be included for any of this to work.
Don't forget to specify the current name of the machine, ie if it is called
"webhost.somecompany.com" have this entry as well:
<VirtualHost webhost.somecompany.com>
ServerName webhost.somecompany.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
</VirtualHost>
Make sure the one for the primary name of the machine goes above all other
domain entries.
A more detailed one would look something like:
<VirtualHost www.a.com>
ServerName www.a.com
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/a-com/html
ErrorLog /home/a-com/logs/error_log
CustomLog /home/a-com/logs/referer_log "%{referer}i"
CustomLog /home/a-com/logs/agent_log "%{user-agent}i"
TransferLog /home/a-com/logs/access_log
<Directory /home/a-com/html>
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
If you need more help with the apache side, just let me know
(I think this should also make it to my faq page one of these days).
As far as smtp, not sure how exactly one handles multiple virtual domains,
since I've never needed to do that.
