VirtualHost
Configuration for enabling a single host machine to resemble multiple host machines. Resources associated with one virtual host cannot share data with resources associated with another virtual host, even if the DNS aliases by which it is known. A DNS alias is the TCP/IP host name and port number used to request a Web module resource (such as a servlet, JSP file, or HTML page). For example, it is the "myhost:80" portion of a client request for http://myhost:80/servlet/snoop. When a client request is made, the server name and port number are compared to a list of all known aliases in an effort to locate the correct virtual host and serve the requested resource.
