Subject: Re: [users@httpd] disable virtual host

Hey, is that "virtual host directory" thing a feature new
in 2.x, or was it available in 1.3 too?

I wouldn't mind taking the time to implement that on my own
server if it's available on httpd 1.3. I just don't want to
upgrade to 2.x yet, since the only thing I really like about
it is threading, and I run FreeBSD, so threading isn't an
option...

Thanks,

Jesse
