#6 Re: dynamically configured mass virtual hosting Posted by Steve (62.30.xx.xx) on Fri 7 Jul 2006 at 08:59 Like I said there are multiple ways to do this and using your method is a neat approach if you have lots of simple sites which don't need anything special. The advantage of the method shown here is that it allows you to customize each different site very easily, (since there is a configuration file for each host), that might allow you to do things like install mailman on one host, and add custom redirects, etc. In my server I have around 10 domains, and each has different customizations - for example the configuration file for this site enables lots of mod_rewrite magic so that all our URLs are pretty - but I don't want those customisations applied globally which I think I would have to do if I used the mass-virtual hosting you suggest.
