RE: [cobalt-users] NameBased Hosting: Viewing a site with IP only

["John M Troher" <admin@xxxxxxxx>]

The could use their windows hosts file to access the site without
making any changes to the server.  The hosts file is checked before
DNS servers so if they set up their www.domain.com in the hosts file
they can surf it just like it was in DNS

Insert this line in your httpd.conf (mainsite)

AliasMatch ^/newsite/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3

Then restart apache - after that, you can access all new named based
sites with:
www.maindomain.com/newsite/www.newdomain.com
