Re: Virtual Hosts
The original question was about IP based virtual
hosts. These are the settings for name based
virtual host.
Correct, though.
Still I prefer to have the IP in the virtual
host directive. Reduces DNS traffic somewhat
and is more reliable as far as I can tell.
Apache by default responds to *all* IPs on port 80,
so you could possibly skip the Listen directives
unless you want some special ports like
Listen 10.0.0.1:443
See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#listen
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#port
and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/dns-caveats.html
BTW.
Altough you can set a default vhost by
<VirtualHost _default_:*> I didn't find this
to be very reliable. I usually simply make sure
the *first* vhost entry is somethings "defaulty"
like our company's web page as Apache uses the
first vhost if no server name matches.
