Although I've pretty much always used named virtual hosts, I've not known about this command (or forgot it long ago). It appears to be set up for named hosts by default in the .conf files I've used as templates. According to the Apache docs, basically you need to use it to specify which interfaces will have named virtual host support enabled. I think the standard httpd.conf's tend to have the line: NameVirtualHost *:80 which says to activate named virtual hosts (and the use of your <VirtualHost> sections for port 80 on all interfaces. I imagine one might want to add *:443 for virtual hosts on the https ports. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html -- Micah J.
