Re: [cobalt-users] problem with name based hosts (http)

["* KAPIL *" <kapil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Make sure that the "web server alias" in site settings field contains both 
domain.com and host.domain.com entries.

In a nutshell, here's what's happening. RaQ is setup to respond to http 
requests for host.domain.com but not for domain.com.....even though DNS might 
be pointed correctly to your raq for both domain.com AND host.domain.com. 
Since you are doing name based hosting...the IP address of your server 
defaults to the first website you created when you setup your RaQ. HTTP 
requests for any host whose DNS records point to your RaQ will default to the 
main website if that host is not setup as a virtual site on your RaQ.

Hope this helps!
