[users@httpd] Mass vhost config question

[Eric Brunner-Williams <br...@nic-naa.net>]

I ran across this in Nick Kew's "The Apache Modules Book".

Footnote on p. 35

8. Mass virtual hosting configurtions usa a single server_rec for all 
vhosts, which is why they don't have the flexibility of normal vhosts.

Can anyone expand on this? I use vhosts for a score or so on each of a 
couple of machines, but I've never seen what a mass virtual hosting
configuration look like.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

See mod_vhost_alias.

What he means, in configuration terms, is that there is no
<VirtualHost> block for each vhost.
