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.=20
  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=20
