Mary Did you ever make any progress? This sounds just like what I ran into when I built Apache 2.2.11 from source for RHEL5.4 last summer. I never did get a good solution. The following worked for me. In the section for configuring the Virtual Host: <Dirctory "/apps/foo"> Allow from ALL </Directory> <VirtualHost 192.168.29.10> DocumentRoot "/apps/foo" ... </VirtualHost> The gotcha, though, was this didn't always work and I couldn't figure out why. So last month I rebuilt the web server with the Apache 2.2 that comes with RHEL5. Cathy --- Cathy L.

Well.. I'm just trying to make sure that I cover all ends to make sure that a DNS alias (a CNAME) is working correctly like I expected. I've having some Virtual Host problem... You can see my previous posts with this subject title "Struggle with Named Virtual Host - The Second Named Virtual Host Always Returns 404 File Not Found Error".. I'm kind of giving up the idea of working from the httpd.conf that was provided by the system. I'm in the process of just using my Apache 1.3.27 httpd.conf and manually migrate it to work Apache 2.0. Maybe that would be easier...Sigh...

Apache calls into your systems resolver, which might be configured by /etc/resolv.conf. Why do you suspect it doesn't?
