Re: named

[Danny Sauer <sauer@cloudmaster.com>]

I feel that this is a good time to point out that name-based virtual hosts
only work with HTTP 1.1-compliant browsers.  Pretty much everything out there
now uses HTTP 1.1, but if supporting absolutely every browser possible is the
goal, IP-based virtual hosting is the only way.  It's also the only way to
support virtual hosts with FTP and several other services.

However, if it's just web stuff and browsers made in the last decade or so
that you wanna do, name-based hosts like Kara suggested will work just fine. :)

--Danny, now with minimal verbosity!
