RE: HTTP server instances/configurations

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian, 

What do you mean by conflicting MAP directives?  Seperate instances
shouldn't worry about what another instance has for a MAP directive.

The way it works is an instance is like a single web server machine.  Each
instance needs a configuration to run.  Each instance can all use the same
configuration, or they can each have their own, or a combination of the two.

Instances must run on a unique IP/Port combination.  So, you can run
instances on:
172.2.2.1 port 80
172.2.2.2 port 8081
172.2.2.3 port 8082

or you can assign multiple IPs to a single NIC and run each one on port 80
(the defaut) but on each IP using the BindSpecific directive.

You can also use dynamic hosts to run more than one server on a single
IP/Port combination (what the PC world calls "host headers").  To do this,
you simply attach a server name to the Map, Exec, and Pass directives.. like
so

Pass /* /site1/* www.site1.com
Pass /* /site2/* www.site2.com

Whew... does that help?
