Re: virtual host

Yes, you must add IP aliases, which I do in file /etc/sysconfig/
network-scripts/ifup-vh (which I add into /etc/rc.d/init.d/network):


        /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0 160.124.114.7
        /sbin/route add -host 160.124.114.7 dev eth0:0

        /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 160.124.114.8
        /sbin/route add -host 160.124.114.8 dev eth0:1

        etcetera...

Then in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf you should add for example, 

<VirtualHost vca.sport.org.za>
ServerAdmin dad@xxxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/vca
ServerName vca.sport.org.za
ErrorLog logs/vca-error_log
TransferLog logs/vca-access_log
</VirtualHost>


where the virtual host, in this example vca.sport.org.za 
is mapped to 160.124.114.7 in the DNS (reverse as well).
