Re: Name based virtual host forwarding from Tux to Apache

[Eric Princen <eprincen boatertalk com>]

This all seems to work now, but I can't say it works well. The
performance is orders of magnitude worse than using Apache+php with
virtual domains alone. I'll do some more tweaking to see if there are
any other gotchas in there, but it does seem to operate, albeit not very
efficiently.

BTW, I find that configuration to be confusing, but I'm not going to
question it. I can see how it would work, but it's odd. Perhaps it
should be documented. If I can find any other problems and get this to
work nicely, perhaps I will.

Thank you for your help,

-Eric ;-)
