Instead of getting 'no such host' they'll end up with a valid IP and will hit your web server which then has to decide how to handle it. As an example, your zone file can look just as follows - I've split www and vhosts onto separate IP addresses but this isn't required, as you can mix named and wildcard entries fairly freely. If you use tools such as dnslint you may need to append a comment on the end of your wildcard line to indicate to dnslint that the wildcard is intentional.

Hi Marius, Everytime I make a new document root for a different website, say the subdomain loco on trains.ath.cx, do I need to update the DNS? For foo.trains.ath.cx and bar.trains.ath.cx do I need to make new DNS entries for foo and bar subdomains? Surely I don't? Because browsers will ask for it, and get directed to trains.ath.cx, and my apache will take are of the rest from the HTTP 1.1 Host: field?

Now, how did I know I was going to get flamed?? :/ Anyway thanks for the example. Some manuals are too hard to read, you have to be a goddamn PhD to read some of them out there to untangle the mess of cross references and incomplete examples. :/ But, with that e.g. that uses an IP address, from day to day I don't know what my IP address will be, can't I use: NameVirtualHost fred.trains.ath.cx ... foo ?

Well, you certainly haven't inconvenience yourself by taking the time to look at the copious documentation available on this, now have you?

Vhosts + mod_perl
Hi, Does anyone have a quick example of setting up a vhost with mod_perl enabled please? Also an ordinary cgi-bin, with file extensions .pl and .cgi enabled? Also with a vhost, I can name the host anything I like can't I? For example, say my domain is localhost.localdomain but I'm using dyndns to make it a hostname, say, trains.ath.cx. I can assign fred.trains.ath.cx and john.trains.ath.cx with vhosts, the requests will get piped to my main machine which is trains, and the vhost section will take care of the rest, knowing which document root to use, right? I don't have to mess around with DNS or anything do I to make new subdomains? Is it: Options +Indexes +ExecCGI DocumentIndex ??? index.html default.html perl-handler # hmm, get mod_perl working in /doc/root/perl cgi-bin # hmmm, get a cgi-bin happening in /doc/root/cgi-bin Or something like that? Many Thanks. James
