What about mod_vhost_alias? ( http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html )
<quote> Summary This module creates dynamically configured virtual hosts, by allowing the IP address and/or the Host: header of the HTTP request to be used as part of the pathname to determine what files to serve. This allows for easy use of a huge number of virtual hosts with similar configurations. </quote> -----Original Message----- From: Scott Gifford [mailto:sgiff...@suspectclass.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 13, 2009 11:09 AM To: William T Cc: modperl@perl.apache.org Subject: Re: Configuring virtual hosts on the fly Thanks William, comments inline...

Do you have any recommended reading on this, or just what Google turns up for "dynamic vhost"? Thanks again! ---Scott.
