name-based vhosts
I've encountered quite a bit of confusion lately about whether it is
possible to run different name-based vhosts on each of several IP
addresses on a single machine. Clearly, this stems mostly from a lack of
understanding of DNS stuff, as do many, many of the vhost problems that
people have. But, anyways, do you think this phrasing change is
accurate? It felt a little awkward, so I didn't go ahead and commit it.
Thoughts?

I guess I should not be running two threads with the same Subject line.

OK, Mads said he liked it, and nobody else said it sucked, so I'll go
ahead. Feel free to assist my grammar.
