This document describes when and how to use name-based virtual hosts. ... IP-based virtual hosts use the IP address of the connection to determine the correct virtual host to serve. ... To use name-based virtual hosting, you must designate the IP address (and possibly port) on the server that will be accepting requests for the hosts. ... For example, suppose that you are serving the domain www.domain.tld and you wish to add the virtual host www.otherdomain.tld , which points at the same IP address. ...

... A modern driver for a device will find out the bus-resource configuration without you having to tell it anything. ... In the worst case you must hard-code the bus-resources into the kernel (or a module) and recompile. In the middle are cases such as where you run a program to give the bus-resource info to the driver or put the info in a configuration file. ... You give such bus-resources as a parameter to the kernel or to a loadable module. ... Setserial is often run from a start-up file. ...
