http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/name-based.html Summary: Name based if you can to save on addressing and if you don't need SSL. IP Based for SSL and if customer insists for some strange reason. It got really popular when ARIN said no more IP's for web addressing, then they backed off of that idea. I've set it up on IIS and Apache before. Pretty simple on both. Gerald On Thu, 11 Jul 2002, Martin Hannigan wrote:
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.
Am I out of date on this, or is it still common practice to assign a single ip number to a single web hosted domain i.e.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?
Specifics would be helpful i.e. certain browsers, applications, etc.
Thanks.
