I love it when everybody's right!!!
I was just in the shower, and this whole thing just wasn't sitting right
with me for some reason...after thinking about it for a while, an anvil
slammed down on my head.
Now, please, correct me if I'm wrong...but Brian, you're using IP based
virtual hosting, no? In that case, www.domain1.com would be 10.0.0.1
and www.domain2.com would be 10.0.0.2, both on the same server though...
Michael and I are using Name based virtual hosting...where
www.domain1.com is 10.0.0.1 and www.domain2.com is also 10.0.0.1, but
Apache differentiates the two by their name. Thing is, no matter how
many virtual hosts you have, if you go to http://10.0.0.1/, you'll
always get the FIRST virtual host listed, as it is the primary, and as
far as Apache is concerned, it served the correct pages for the request.
With us small-timers, a block of IP's is somewhat difficult to come by
without paying an arm and a leg for it. So we resort to name based
virtual hosting to get around that, and are able to host multiple sites
on just our one IP. Only downfall, like Bob said, is that you must be
using an HTTP v1.1 browser or better, otherwise, you'll still just get
first (primary) virtual host.
Hope that clears the mud up a bit.
