Re: Which web server for multiple domains?
AFAIK (and I didn't see documentaion on BOA's site) BOA does not support
Virtual Hosting (what you are talking about). I'm sure some other
httpd's support it, but I _know_ apache does (as I run it).
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/index.html
I'm quite happy with Apache, and there is a lot of functionality you
actually might find useful. It really isn't that hard to setup/maintain
either. The documentation is a blessing :)
