[users@httpd] Re: accessing virtual host from other computer in the same network

[Eric Covener <co...@gmail.com>]

wrong list, use users@httpd.apache.org.

1) Apache resolves any <virtualhost> argument to an IP address at
startup and only matches the incoming interface to it
2) Apache chooses the best virtualhost, or set of identical
virtualhosts covered by a NameVirtualHost, based on the incoming
interface.
3) If NameVirtualHost was used, it then looks at ServerName and
ServerAlias in the vhosts from step 2.
