Hello,
Normally I wouldn't e-mail you about this but in this situation I'm very desperate. Being very new to FreeBSD (been using Linux for a while), I don't know too much about it. I've been searching all over the web and asking this question in all kinds of mIRC channels without much help for hours. I really need your help.
My question: My host is noc.panthernet.com, running FreeBSD 2.2.5 . I'm the sysadmin, and I've been asked by the root to set up some virtual hosts. I've got my IP block, and I'd like to get started. Unfortunately, I've been going no where for hours.
Question one: How do I setup IP 1.2.3.5 to be a virtual host to 1.2.3.4 (that is to say telnetting to 1.2.3.5 would bring up 1.2.3.4, a virtual host). I know it has something to do with ifconfig, but I'm stumped.
Question two: Once IP 1.2.3.5 has been setup, how do I give it a hostname (host.panthernet.com)? I've added an entry to /etc/hosts, but it didn't work, I don't think, since it doesn't DNS resolve.
That's all I need to know, basically: how to set up a Virtual Host. It would be appeciated, if possible, not to be directed to documents concerning this issue unless they are very to the point and concerning directly my questions. I haven't found a http://www.freebsd.org article like this for Virtual Hosts.
*Whew* that was long :)
Thanks
