Matt, the design you're talking about is exactly what is designed for and thus
supported. Glad to know at least something works for someone. <smile/>

For what it's worth, we use host headers extensively for our websites and
services, and they seem to work just fine.
On one of our servers we have about a dozen web services that have the same IP
address and port, but different host headers (external IP addresses, really.) I
haven't had a problem getting them to install properly, create apps, etc.
If 'twere me, I'd create host headers for your unique site(s) and identify them
that way. Even if you don't technically *use* the host headers, you can
uniquely identify very similar websites that way. Just make something up and
put it in there. You just have to be sure when you update/alter a website later
that you use the correct (what I call the) 'triad of identification' to refer
to them: IP, port, header.
We're using a pretty recent build of Wix 3.0, but this has been working with
not-so-recent builds of 3.0 for nearly a year.

The WebAddress is how you do that and the Headers attribute should do what you
are looking for. I have to admit, I've never used the host headers to separate
web sites so it is possible there is a bug in the CustomAction somewhere. A
little more detail about what you saw would help diagnose the root issue.
Also, the version of the WiX toolset you are using is important.

Do you need to do it via an MSI? If so, I have no ideas.
If you just want to do it any old way, you use the web server's management
console. Can't remember the details off hand, but if you confirm that that is
what you want, I'll dig up the information.

I want to set up multiple web sites in IIS 6: each listening on port 80, but
using different Host headers. For example, www.coke.com<http://www.coke.com/>
and www.pepsi.com<http://www.pepsi.com/>. These correspond to IIsWebServer
nodes in metabase.xml.
I have not figured out how to do it. My hopes for the Header attribute in
<WebAddress> were quickly dashed. I also tried setting Port to
"80:www.pepsi.com", but the website stubbornly remained under IIS's Default
website.
