Title: multiple domain names
Post by: geoff on June 11, 2000, 01:05:36 AM

Hello,
I have a domain name for my site already, but a friend of mine that also has space on my e-smith server would also like to get a domain name. I have mulitple IP addresses I can use, but how do I set up the server so that when it gets a request for this new IP address (for my friends site) it will point to that site.
-thanks

e-smith 3.1 does not support this

e-smith 4.0 will support multiple virtual domains. All of the
sites use the same IP address and use the Apache NameVirtualHost
feature to allow the sites to co-exist.

So, you can provide multiple sites, and you will only need one
IP address to do it.
