serveriron & http 1.1 name-based web hosting

Greetings,

I have a serverironXL with SW version 07.0.06T12.

I'm trying to do http/1.1 name-based web hosting. My connectivity
provider of course frowns on the wasted IP's ip-based hosting entails.

When I try to add a SLB virtual server with the same IP as an
existing SLB virtual server, it fails complaining that the IP address is
already taken.

Is there any way to use the serveriron XL to do name-based vhosting?
Or do I have to somehow get a huge chunk of IP space?

Cheers,

~Ethan B.

Ethan,

You do not need to enter multiple virtual servers. The requested host name
is passed through the lb to the web server. Just set up one virtual server
and use that ip for all your domains.

I run 6 or 7 websites off the same ip though a serveriron with no problems
at all.

Bill

Bill,

Awesome, I'll give it a whirl.

Next question follows. ;-)
