All you need is multiple NameVirtualHost directives in your httpd.conf Example: NameVirutalHost 11.22.33.44 NameVirutalHost 11.22.33.55 NameVirutalHost 11.22.33.66 Second, when you're doing NameVirtualHost, you should avoid using IP based names in virtualhost. The purpose of Named hosts, is to use the browser supplied host header to identify which virtual server to use. Then when apache parses the <VirtualHost insert.domain.name.here> it will lookup the IP for the given name, and if it matches one of the NameVirtualHosts, name based hosting will be used for that host. You will get a warning if you have a NameVirtualHost directive, and none of the Vhosts have a name which resolves to that IP. --daxbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
