    <p>Your server has a single IP address, and multiple aliases (CNAMES)
 | 
						|
    point to this machine in DNS. You want to run a web server for
 | 
						|
    <code>www.example.com</code> and <code>www.example.org</code> on this

    machine.</p>

 | 
						|
          host configurations on your Apache server does not magically
 | 
						|
          cause DNS entries to be created for those host names. You
 | 
						|
          <em>must</em> have the names in DNS, resolving to your IP
 | 
						|
          address, or nobody else will be able to see your web site. You
 | 
						|
          can put entries in your <code>hosts</code> file for local
 | 
						|
          testing, but that will work only from the machine with those
 | 
						|
          <code>hosts</code> entries.</p>

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>The asterisks match all addresses, so the main server serves no
 | 
						|
    requests. Due to the fact that the virtual host with
 | 
						|
    <code>ServerName www.example.com</code> is first
 | 
						|
    in the configuration file, it has the highest priority and can be seen
 | 
						|
    as the <cite>default</cite> or <cite>primary</cite> server. That means
 | 
						|
    that if a request is received that does not match one of the specified
 | 
						|
    <code>ServerName</code> directives, it will be served by this first
 | 
						|
    <code>VirtualHost</code>.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <div class="note">
 | 
						|
            <h3>Note</h3>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
           <p>You can, if you wish, replace <code>*</code> with the actual
 | 
						|
           IP address of the system, when you don't care to discriminate based
 | 
						|
           on the IP address or port.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
           <p>However, it is additionally useful to use <code>*</code>
 | 
						|
           on systems where the IP address is not predictable - for
 | 
						|
           example if you have a dynamic IP address with your ISP, and
 | 
						|
           you are using some variety of dynamic DNS solution. Since
 | 
						|
           <code>*</code> matches any IP address, this configuration
 | 
						|
           would work without changes whenever your IP address
 | 
						|
           changes.</p>
 | 
						|
    </div>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    <p>The above configuration is what you will want to use in almost
 | 
						|
    all name-based virtual hosting situations. The only thing that this
 | 
						|
    configuration will not work for, in fact, is when you are serving
 | 
						|
    different content based on differing IP addresses or ports.</p>

    example, a virtual host of the same name is configured on a machine

 | 
						|
    used so that the desired hostname is passed through, in case we are
 |

    proxying multiple hostnames to a single machine.</p>
