I use it and it saves so much in configuration time! VirtualDocumentRoot /home/httpd/virtual/%0/ VirtualScriptAlias /home/httpd/virtual/%0/cgi-bin This way, if apache receives an httpd 1.1 request, it takes the fqdn in the URL contained in the request and matches it in a directory in /home/httpd/virtual. If a match is found, then the contents of the directory is read as the documentroot of the website. Simple, and no need to reconfigure and restart apache. So all you need is to update the A record of your server to point to the current IP address you have. \8) _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
