Hello,
I have a problem to setup my virtual hosting.
I got Apache 1.3.14 running on Windows XP system. on a home network of
three computers connected to LinkSys DSL router(IP 192.168.1.1). I got a
registered domain (changed) abcd.net and assigned static IP (changed)
111.22.33.44. On the internal system the IP for the web server computer is
192.168.1.201. I got two websites there on addresses http://abcd.net/dad
and http://abcd.net/mom with corresponding directories c:/web/dad/ and
c:/web/mom. I want the websites to be available as http://dad.abcd.net and
http://mom.abcd.net. I prefer not either to register any these two domains
or place them on my ISP's DNS server. I cannot use other ports such as 8080
because setting up this port on the router keeps other computers on the
network from getting on web. I would like to keep the main domain
functional, so that in fact one can use both addresses , e.g.,
http://dad.abcd.net and http://abcd.net/dad.
It looks like a textbook case. I consulted several books on Apache, the
Apache manual, some friends, and some related sites and found and tried
several configurations in my httpd.conf file. Unfortunately none of them
worked for me when tested directly on the main computer. Below you can find
three unsuccessful configurations. I surely would appreciate help that will
allow me to setup virtual host and reason why this will work whereas the
others failed since I prefer to learn from my own errors not to repeat
them.
Thanks in advance.

If you only want to access these sites from your internal network you can
edit your hosts file (not sure where it is located in Windows) or setup an
internal dns server to run your network's own DNS. That way you wouldn't
have to talk to your ISP for every subdomain DNS change that you want to
make for your internal network. However way you decide to go about it you
must setup some type of name resolution before you can accomplish what you
are requesting.
Just a couple alternate suggestions you can look into... ;)

Where ever the Primary DNS server is has to add "dad" & "mom" as
aliases (CNAME) to the domain "abcd.net". Then your apache setup
will work. You HAVE to setup DNS first though. That is not an
option (to my knowledge anyway). Configuration 1 is what I use,
BTW.

That can't be done without having either the specific names in DNS or
having a wildcard dns entry for *.abcd.net. If the name isn't associated
with the IP address, there is no way that a browser can find it, so any
apache configuration will be pointless.
