Taken verbatim from the apache httpd.conf file: # ServerName allows you to set a host name which is sent back to clients for # your server if it's different than the one the program would get (i.e., use # "www" instead of the host's real name). # # Note: You cannot just invent host names and hope they work. The name you # define here must be a valid DNS name for your host. If you don't understand # this, ask your network administrator. # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # You will have to access it by its address (e.g., http://123.45.67.89/) # anyway, and this will make redirections work in a sensible way. # # 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your # machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for # local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name. # #ServerName new.host.name so the answer is yes and I'm doing it on 2 boxes at home.
