[users@httpd] Sub-sub domains

Hi

I am setting up personal web pages on a domain so that if someone chooses
XXX123 then their URL would be XXX123.pwp.zoeballz.net. The DNS A record
would be wildcarded as *.pwp.zoeballz.net.

My question is - In the virtualhost section of httpd.conf, would a wildcard
AND name specific be valid?

E.g. would this work?

virtualhost 1 - xxx123.pwp.zoeballz.net >>>>>> dir1
virtualhost 2 - yyy345.pwp.zoeballz.net >>>>>> dir2
virtualhost 3 - *.pwp.zoeballz.net >>>>>> not-found-dir (so this catches any
unknowns)

Reason is I do NOT want requests for unknown pwp subdomains to get the same
error page as the page for other subdomains. I run Apache 1.3.31 on this
particular server

Thanks,
Zoe

Try reading Mass Virtual Hosting in apache manual.

See the docs on name-based virtual hosting.  You'll see that the first
listed <VirtualHost> block that matches the NameVirtualHost directive
is the "default" virtual host that catches all unknown requests.  So
you can do

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName unknown.pwp.zoeballz.net
ServerAlias *.pwp.zoeballz.net
DocumentRoot ...
ErrorDocument ...
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName xxx123.pwp.zoeballz.net
DocumentRoot ...
...
</VirtualHost>
...
