ok, the way you do it is with virutal hosting, you have to have the box
claiming more than one ip (if there's a way to do it with one ip, let me
know!)

example virtualhost: (goes in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

(and as i'm writing this, my linux box just suddenly crashes after 56 days,
2 hours, and 23 minutes of not crashing, i guess it was due)

anyway,

<VirtualHost  yourdomain.com:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

#basicall, anything that goes in the main #part of your config file, can
also go in a #virtual host definition, read the config #file, it gives info
on this

</VirtualHost>

I don't know the details of how, but you can use multiple IP addresses, or
use a single IP address. Apache is the standard against which all others
are measured.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.

you can't do it with one ip, how would the server know which domain you
wanted? the name you request is not passed on, it goes to your dns server
and from then on the servers you are accessing are only dealing with ip's/

Specification for HTTP1.1 allows for multiple domains to share a single IP
address. the browser sends the complete URL in its request. The server
looks at the requested domain and responds accordingly. Many hosting
companies will allow you to take advantage of this directing a
"parked" domain name to point to a directory within your site.

As a side note, until Microslop went to version 5 of its web server this
was not supported. You had to multihome a machine to allow two web sites
on the same box. They finally got it so you didn't shortly before winblows
2k. That was considered a show stoping feature of the version. They had
grown tired of being beaten up about this area of appache's superiority.

You can certainly do it with one IP.  I've done it multiple times.  I just
can't find the config file but you definitely can do it with one IP.

that's awesome, somebody show me, or tell me where to look. ;)
I'm very interested in that.

Yes.  There are several ways I believe to do this.  The most common way is
to use virtual_domain entries in the httpd.conf.  If you look up virtual
domains in the manual it gives a detailed description on how to do this.
I would be happy to explain with more detail but I have not done it in a
long time and have forgotten the syntax.
