I am running an apache-0.8.14 web server on an intel PC under FreeBSD 2.1
Apache can support virtual hosts. IE if two ip numbers point to the machine
the server runs on, then the server will return a different home page depending
on which ip number was used to access it.
Under Solaris this is easy to set up, using ifconfig le0.
Under SunOS I got it working by using the VIF kernel patch
<URL:http://www.apache.org/docs/vif.info>
Under FreeBSD I have no idea. The FAQs didn't seem to help and
nor does the Apache web site.
So ... does anybody have a FreeBSD port of the VIF patch, or otherwise
know how to set FreeBSD up to listen on multiple ip numbers?
Yours gratefully,
