Hoping someone can assist me to understand the steps involved in virtual hosting. Have I got the sequence right.? Set up a Zone file for the domain in the DNS records of the Primary DNS. Set up a virtual host.do.main using Listen option in Apache. (Or set up an alias IP within your own IP space,) (Does NSCA do Listen as well, or just bind+IP alias?) register the domain, and point the Nameserver responsible for the host.do.main at your real Nameserver on which the domain has a zone record. for instance, register foo.bar.com as a domain, with a name server of bart.simpson.com, (your actual server). Sometimes I see people referring to running virtual domains/hosts without using bind? I don't understand how that is done. If there is a domain called foo.bar.com, but it is a virtual domain kept on the real host/domain bart.simpson.com, and I'm here in OZ, and I try and locate http://foo.bar.com, it has to be able to find it in the DNService doesn't it ! There has to be a record somewhere pointing foo.bar.com --> bart.simpson.com Thanks for any assistance on this enquiry, Robert -- The China House Sheng Huo Jiu Shi Dou Zheng robert@chalmers.com.au for Whirled Peas http://chalmers.com.au Location: Web Works Whitsunday. 21'7" S, 149'14" E.
