Mass Virtual Hosting

El cheapo virtual hosting: Dynamically select the serverdir based on the Host header, allowing on-the-fly deployment of new domains.

How?

ns_serverrootproc

Register a script in a server to determine the serverdir

vhostcertificates

nsssl module configuration selecting/mapping certificates to servers

Example:

8 DNS entries point to the demo server. Two of them don't have their own server section in the config: tcl and tk.

• See the nsssl configuration snippet and the vhostcertificates directory .
• See the ns_serverrootproc configuration snippet and the virtual host base directory.
• Or introspect via the nsstats module.
