Thorpe,

First question is how many virtual hosts? Second is how busy?

The simple virtual server was an example of a no-configuration virtual server. 
It relies entirely on correctly setup DNS. I have written several other 
virtual servers (tclvhr and vat) which have slightly different features, but 
the common feature is that they use one AOLserver server instance, and thus 
economize memory use. If you have tens, hundreds or thousands of mostly idle 
websites, this is the way to go. But if you have a few sites that need to 
remain separated in memory/code, you should use AOLserver virtual servers. 
Also, speed will be better with AOLserver virtual servers, since it is done 
in C. For moderate load, there probably isn't any issue. If you need to serve 
hundreds of independent websites, use Apache 1.x, or buy lots of ram or 
additional machines. The one big issue with AOLserver handling many virtual 
servers is that each must load code separately, startup time increases as you 
add more hosts and eventually it will piss you off.
