Hmmm, it sounds like you want the virtual host thing...
- add "VirtualHost" to /etc/boa/boa.conf
- edit /etc/hosts to look like, say...
127.0.0.1 you localhost
127.0.0.2 other1 localhost
127.0.0.3 other2 localhost
- setup /var/www to have dirs named, 127.0.0.{1,2,3}
- restart boa
requests for:
http://you/, http://other1/, and http://other2/ will be served out of
localhost/var/www/127.0.{1,2,3}, respectively.

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 :) David On Thu, Jun 28, 2001 at 10:03:24PM -0700, Craig Dickson wrote: > I've been using the web server Boa, and generally it has done a good job > without using up too much memory or CPU time.

Which web server for multiple domains?
I've been using the web server Boa, and generally it has done a good job without using up too much memory or CPU time. The one thing it doesn't do that I now need is to host multiple domains as logically-distinct sites. E.g. if someone requests www.domain1.com (not my real domain name, btw), I want a different page to come up than if they request www.domain2.com, even though the DNS addresses for those sites are identical. From the docs, I think Boa could do it if the two sites were served through separate network interfaces, but that's not the case here. There's one network interface, and the only difference between www.domain1.com and www.domain2.com is the domain in the URL (which I believe HTTP does provide to the server, so the server should be able to differentiate based on it). Does anyone know if Boa can do this, or if any of the other servers could? (I daresay AOLServer or Apache could, but I'd rather go with a smaller, simpler server if it will do what I need). Thanks, Craig
