Assuming you want to use the 'Virtual Server' option, where:
http://www.base.com/comp1/...
http://www.base.com/comp2/...
http://www.base.com/comp3/...
Become:
http://www.comp1.com/...
http://www.comp2.com/...
http://www.comp3.com/...
All using the same server/machine, then you do:
1) get a seperate IP address for each domain (seperate from the
machine's current IP address).
2) edit /etc/sysconfig, remove the 'ifconfig_xxx' line for your
ethernet defice. i.e. if you use 'ed0' then it may look like:
+-------
network_interfaces="ed0 lo0"
ifconfig_ed0="inet 199.104.90.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
+-------
Change it to:
+-------
network_interfaces="ed0 lo0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
+-------
Then create /etc/start_if.xxx, where 'xxx' is your device (i.e.
start_if.ed0 in the example above). Doing this basically lets you
handle setting it up by hand. 'start_if.xxx' should setup the network,
and can be something like:
+-------
#!/bin/sh
# Initial configuration
ifconfig ed1 inet <real ip> netmask 255.255.255.0
# Aliases
ifconfig ed1 alias <alias ip> netmask 255.255.255.255
[other aliases]
+-------
From there config apache, edit conf/httpd.conf and add something like:
+-------
<VirtualHost aliasname>
ServerAdmin webmaster@aliasname
DocumentRoot root for domain
ServerName aliasname
</VirtualHost>
+-------
All of the above are sketchy. I'd STRONGLY suggest reading the man
pages on ifconfig and apache help FIRST.
