Managing virtual domains

Managing virtual domains

SCO OpenServer supports ``virtual domains'', allowing a single network interface to respond to multiple IP addresses, so that a single system can be known by multiple names (such as abc.com and def.com). If system services are configured to bind to specific IP addresses, then a single system can serve the Web sites for both abc.com and def.com, and anyone accessing either Web site could not tell that these sites are served from a single system. This process of using a single system to respond to multiple IP addresses and system names is called ``multihoming''. The multiple distinct environments that the system presents to the outside world are called virtual domains. Your SCO OpenServer system can support up to 254 virtual domains, each with distinct Web, FTP, and e-mail services.
