The documentation is clear. I think the cite above means, when a request comes for local IP address, and there are name virtual hosts on that IP address, apache checks all name virtual hosts defined on that (aka matching) IP address, if their ServerName or ServerAlias match the hostmane provided in Host: header. So, if a request comes to 195.168.3.66, and there is directive "NameVirtualHost 195.168.3.66", apache will search virtual hosts defined on 195.168.3.66 (using <VirtualHost 195.168.3.66>) for the first, whose ServerName or ServerAlias match the Host: provided in the request. If none will match, the first virtual host on 195.168.3.66 will be used. At least this is how I understand the section above. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uhlar@xxxxxxxxxxx ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
