Hi, I have recently inherited a system that uses 2 httpd binaries. One listens on port 80, the other (on port81) is a modperl enabled binary whereby, with the power of some rewritting from the port 80 listener, stuff ends up on port 81. I had to create a second vhost for the modperl binary to listen on port 8181. The approach I took was to use name-based vhosts. I followed the examples at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/vhosts/name-based.html My issue is that I am have had to enable specific clients with Allow statements and I am not sure that's approach is goig to be practical. My current config uses NameVirtualHost * <VirtualHost *> ServerName .... Can I use a port based system? So NameVirtualHost *:81 <VirtualHost *:81> ServerName ... I thought I'd seen something like that on this list. Is that possible with 1.3.24? My thinking is that perhaps with this method the client will the localhost and I can just Allow 127.0.0.1 rather than having to extend the allow statements the service grows. Does my approach seem sound or would there be a better way?
