VirtualHost question

[dogbert at clue4all.net (Brian Conway)]

When I've set up virtual hosts on apache, I've never needed to deal with 
another IP other than the server's own.  AFAIK the IP will always be
unchanged from the current one in use, and apache will bring up the page
according to the url it has received.  For example, I have a virtual host
running on clue4all.net which appears as the following in httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost amlothi.clue4all.net:80>
DocumentRoot /home/amlothi/virtsite/
ServerName amlothi.clue4all.net
ErrorLog /home/amlothi/amlothi_error_log
TransferLog /home/amlothi/amlothi_access_log
</VirtualHost>

I haven't needed to alias any IPs, and just needed to make a dns entry for
amlothi.clue4all.net that pointed to the clue4all.net IP.  Apache then
sees that it's coming to its IP but is looking for a different site and
serves it up accordingly.  I'm sure this isn't the only way to accomplish
this type of virtual hosting, but I found it quick and painless.  Hope
that helped.
