    IP address and then configure the Apache HTTP Server to recognize

    the different hostnames. Name-based virtual hosting also eases

    the demand for scarce IP addresses. Therefore you should use

    name-based virtual hosting unless there is a specific reason to

    choose IP-based virtual hosting. Some reasons why you might consider

    using IP-based virtual hosting:</p>



    <ul>

       <li>Name-based virtual hosting often <a href="../ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts">

        cannot be used with SSL secure servers</a>

        because of the nature of the SSL protocol.</li>



        <li>Some operating systems and network equipment implement bandwidth

        management techniques that cannot differentiate between hosts unless

        they are on separate IP addresses.</li>

    </ul>

    name-based virtual hosting unless you are using equipment

    that explicitly demands IP-based hosting.  Historical reasons for

    IP-based virtual hosting based on client support are no longer

    applicable to a general-purpose web server.</p>



    <p> Name-based virtual hosting builds off of the IP-based virtual host

    selection algorithm, meaning that searches for the proper server name

    occur only between virtual hosts that have the best IP-based address.</p>
