Re: virtual hosting methods
Actually there is a very nice and nifty feature in apache 1.3.19+ (or was
it 20+) that allows an include filename to be a directory what will
include all directories and subdirs of the named direcotry, and load all
files in those dirs as config files. With some maintenance scripts it
allows very easy maintenance of virtual hosts (configuration...)
and grouping of configuration. For simple masshosting
I still suggest mod_vhost.
