Bind and Multiple VirtualHosts with Apache on 1 Static IP

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi Ken,

I've just joined the newsgroup, but you don't appear to have received a
response, so here's my 2p's worth.

The Virtual host settings in Apache are your problem.  You have set up 2
virtual hosts both with the same name, that of the i.p. address.  What you
need to do is change them to the domains they'll service, i.e.
<virtualhost www.pyrofx.com>
.....
</virtualhost>
<virtualhost www.fabricationsgifts.com>
.....
</virtualhost>

All the DNS does is convert the two names to the one I.P. address, and then
have not further purpose.

Hope this helps,

Gary
