Does anyone know if MacBSD will support Virtual hostnames (I may have that
term wrong.  The idea is that you have two hostnames for the same machine.
If one name is used, then one set of inet services is used, if the other
name is used, then another set is used.)

I believe BSDi386 does, though I don't know specifically how they are doing it.
At any rate, I believe they have a web server that will go to a specific
directory based upon the hostname used.  Is this a function of the web
server?

Oh well, if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please let me know if it
can be done under MacBSD.  I'd like something that supports more services
than just http.

If no one knows what I'm talking about, maybe I'm full of hot air.  I'll
try and find where I read about this and see if that avenue gives me any
pointers.

Thanks!

Aaron
