Check out "ServerPath" and "ServerAlias". I'm aware of this, but if my understanding is correct, any browser that doesn't implement this feature will connect to the machine with the correct IP address, but never tell the server which name it used to match that IP address, so would pull up the non-virtual host. You could make the non-virtual host root page a set of links to the subdirectories that each virtual host is in, but that's not what you want to do if you're selling your services, because it looks kludgy. Am I missing something? Seriously, I'm always in the mood to learn (well, there was last week and that cold, but I still wasn't very opposed to learning something new :-) Also, anyone know if non-IP based virtual hosts work with MSIE/NSNAV 2.0? I really don't have anything against it, and have a few servers that only have one IP address that I'd love to be able to do this with, once it works smoothly with a vast majority of browswers actually in use.
