Guys,

I think this discussion goes the wrong way. Since the original requirement
is very simple to achieve:

I think that multiple DNS zone records (one for each domainname), simply
pointing to the same public IP of an OFBiz instance can do the job. As far
as I can see all mountpoints are specified relative to the OFBiz webroot in
the respective ofbiz-component.xml <webapp> tags.

So no reason to "complicate" your setup with Apache, vHosts etc. Just make
sure your DNS provider points all your URLs to the very same OFBiz instance.

IMHO the reasons for Apache in the game are few, e.g.:

   - You want to rewrite URLs because you want different URLs to seamlessly
   point to different shops (i.e. ecommerce application instances on OFBiz) or
   different shop layouts (also for this you will need two ecommerce
   applications with two different THEME settings) ... however I do not see
   these requirements in the original mail.
   - As I mentioned in earlier posts, Apache does also need to come into
   play for enforced 2- or 3-tier architectures when coping with PCI or SOX
   requirements etc.

Hope this helps?
Regards


Carsten
