Actually, you might want to check the apache pages for this, http://www.apache.org as there are 'neater' ways of doing this without wasting a second (valuable) IP address. In short, assume a DNS setup like ape.com's primary file: ape.com in soa ns, ... www.ape.com in cname www.bigserver.com nut.com's primary file nut.com in soa, ns, .. www.nut.com in cname www.bigserver.com mies.com's primary file mies.com in ns,soa, www.mies.com in cname www.bigserver.com etc, etc and now we have bigserver bigserver.com in ns, soa,... www.bigserver.com in ptr 123.45.56.12 (you could make the others also PTR's and even do bogus reverse mapping if you are into serious hidding.. but the cname is more illustrative) Next you put into apache's httpd.conf file servertype standalone port 80 ... ServerName www.bigserver.com ... <VirtualHost www.ape.com> ServerAdmin webmaster@ape.com DocumentRoot /www/docs/ape.com ServerName www.ape.com ErrorLog logs/ape.com-error_log TransferLog logs/ape.com-access_log </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost www.nut.com> ServerAdmin webmaster@nut.com DocumentRoot /www/docs/nut.com ServerName www.nut.com ErrorLog logs/nut.com-error_log TransferLog logs/nut.com-access_log </VirtualHost> Now your _normal_ DocumentRoot, ErrorLogs etc are all for the server www.bigserver.com, i.e.visible as http://www.bigserver.com/file or http://456.12.34.5/files but the files in the directory /www/docs/ ape, nuts, mies, .. are visible as http://www.ape.com/files.. http://www.but.com/files And to make things 'really' neat you could put in the directory of www.bigserver.com an index.html file with pointers to the other servers. But read the apache doc as why and when this works; there are some catches with very very old browsers which do not support the host header; but administration is a zillios of times simpler this way.
