Hi Guys, My very first post.

I'm gonna refer to a linux server but you guys seem to know your stuff and I'm sure the configuration will be similar.

Just to start I'm just about keeping my head above water due to a steep learning curve learning linux and apache configuation. I've never had to do it before so I'm taking baby steps and learning off forums.

In work I needed to have one server serving the same files to multiple domains. After plenty of research I got a vps server and read up that setting up the vhost.conf.

The vhost.conf currently goes like so:
ServerAlias domain.com www.domain.com domain2.com www.domain2.com domain3.com www.domain3.com

This method worked for me and since my knowledge is limited, why fix what isn't broke.

I'm coming back to this again and I'm looking to point around 40 names at this server. So my vhost.conf file is going to become very messy and I know that im probably not doing this correctly.

Is there a way to dynamicaly config the server that it know's how to deal with domains being pointed at it without me having to list them the way I'm doing it?

Hope this is clear enough and thanks for any help.
