[users@httpd] adding virtual hosts without restarting ??

[ed elliott <ed...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,
 
If I add a virtual host to apache, is there any way that I can get it to work without restarting apache?
 
What do ISP's do when they create a new domain - surely they dont restart apache and cause all the other domains to stop working (for a little while) ??
 
thanks,

Another option is to use mod_vhost_alias
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html); still another option
is described in the 'Mass Virtual Hosting' section of
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html.
