Is it possible to set a ddns hostname to access a name-based virtual host?

You can specify a domainalias for every virtualhost in the apache
configuration (other http servers should support similar functionality)
This has nothing to do with DNS since all dns does is translate the hostname
you type in to an IP address the computer uses to connect to.
Every http request contains a 'host' header that is used by the webserver to
determine the documentroot to serve.

Hope this helps.
