Binding a Virtual Host to a Single IP

Hi Folks,

I just configured Hiawatha for my little VPS and it runs my PHP WordPress site well. Excellent

Here is my query.

Let's say I have 3 hosts - example1.com, example2.com and example3.com

and 2 IPS - say 1.2.3.4 and 5.6.7.8

I want example1.com and example3.com to be attached to 1.2.3.4

and example2.com alone to be attached to 5.6.7.8

equivalent to

<VirtualHost 5.6.7.8:80>
ServerName example2.com
ServerAlias www.example2.com
</VirtualHost>

How do I do this? Example config please.

Thanks
Michael

If both are reachable via the internet, just ignore the 'attaching'. Just create three virtual hosts and let DNS do the rest.

Thanks Hugo. Let's assume example2.com is an SSL site and needs it own IP.

Then how do I proceed?

Why does it need its own IP? Hiawatha supports Server Name Indication (SNI).
