[<andy b blueyonder co uk>]

Hi All,


MAny thanks for the file Tyler, it was EXACTLY what I needed.  And thanks also to Leonard who pointed me to the DNS-Howto.   Now why didn't I think of that?<grins>

This is the way I do a *single* domain with several different
virtual webservers hosted on the same machine.  Each domain has it's
own zone file....  So, if there are other zone files, then each zone
file will have it's own information for each individual set of zone
information.

This is zone file of one virtual domain (mainvirtdomain) which is
hosted on a host machine (hostdomain).  This is the zone entry file
that's found in /var/named on the ns1.hostdomain.net as well as the
backup name server ns2.hostdomain.net.  It should be the top level
domain registration spot on the net (where your domain is registered
and whereever they send that information for other DNS to serve that
top level information) that associates your name servers with their
ip addresses... so in these files, you don't need to have an address
(IN A) record to declare their IP address... :

mainvirtdomain.com.  IN      SOA     ns1.hostdomain.net.
hostmaster.hostdomain.com. (
                                2001050909 ; serial
                                28800 ; refresh
                                7200 ; retry
                                604800 ; expire
                                86400 ; default_ttl
)
mainvirtdomain.com.  IN      NS      ns1.hostdomain.net.
mainvirtdomain.com.  IN      NS      ns2.hostdomain.net.
;
mainvirtdomain.com.  IN      MX      10 mail.mainvirtdomain.com.
;
mainvirtdomain.com.     IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
www                     IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
ftp                     IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
mail                    IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
dev                     IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
www.dev                 IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
devicf                  IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
www.devicf              IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
icf                     IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx
download                IN A       xx.xx.xx.xx

Every one of the xx.xx.xx.xx is the same IP number.  We stayed away
from CNAME records in DNS because, as we have read the documentation,
it seems as though the CNAME records are somewhat ambiguous in use
and are often a cause of DNS problems.

As always when making DNS changes, always change the "serial" number
to something else before restarting named.  I restart using "ndc restart"
at a root command prompt.

Then in the apache Vhosts.conf file, I've got the nearly the same
virtual host (with different ServerName, ServerAlias, DocumentRoot,
CustomLog, ScriptAlias (for /cgi-bin/) for each of the different
virtual servers listed above.....

NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx

## again xx.xx.xx.xx is the same ip address all of the way through
## the Vhosts.conf file

Save the Vhosts.conf file.  And restart apache.  You can make all
the changes to you want to these apache configuration files.  Until
apache is restarted, it'll not reflect the changes.
