Folks, could use some pointers.
I seem to remember from experience some years ago that if you were hosting multiple domains for web hosting in a shared environment that they needed to have individual IP numbers assigned specifically to the domain, all sharing the interface, so things like AOL browser, etc. would all work properly.
I haven't heard of any problems with virtual hosting and client-side browsers. The only caveat I'm aware of is that SSL-enabled virtual hosts (i.e. https://foo.bar.bz) must have a unique IP per host, due to the nature of SSL and certificates.
Am I out of date on this, or is it still common practice to assign a single ip number to a single web hosted domain i.e.
hme0/1.2.3.1/www.test1.com hme0/1.2.3.2/www.test2.com
...and so on and so forth?
Only for SSL vhosts. Otherwise, there are no problems (well, very few anyway) that I am aware of in using a single IP to host as many vhosts as physical resources will allow. I'm quite certain somebody will correct me if I've missed something. :) -- -= Scott Francis || darkuncle (at) darkuncle (dot) net =- GPG key CB33CCA7 has been revoked; I am now 5537F527 illum oportet crescere me autem minui
