I don't remember real clearly what the HTTP_HOST variable looks like, but I could easily do a comparison against both variables.

Use records of one of two formats: > > logindomain:http_host:popup_flag > logindomain:server_addr:popup_flag No. I want to keep the two files separate for compatibility reasons, as well as functionality reasons. I like the idea of "defaulting" the domain drop down on the login page if the 'logindomainlist' file exists. I think that would be a bit harder to implement if I overload the 'logindomainlist' file for this new functionality. > > Perhaps name and ip-based virtual hosting can't coexist on the same server > (can it?), Don't know first hand, but I don't see why not. > in which case what I am proposing here is overly general > solution with redundant information, i.e. every record basically specifies > whether name or ip-based hosting is being used.

I'll have to make sure that the HTTP_HOST variable actually contains the data we want, and that there isn't a better variable choice out there, but I don't see why it wouldn't work as expected. > But if you want to code yours first and pass it to > me, that is also fine.
