Configuring partitioned servers and virtual Web servers

The books for Administering the Domino System describe how to set up partitioned servers in Chapter 9 and also how to set up virtual Web servers in Chapter 23, but not as a combined configuration. One essential step for binding the IP address of each virtual server to each partitioned server's HTTP process in the server document is not mentioned. Here are the steps:

Setting up the partitioned servers using separate TCP/IP addresses


Setting up virtual web servers for each partitioned server

To assign a specific partitioned server one or many virtual servers you must include the IP address(es) of each virtual server (can also use host name or DNS name) in the host name field of the server document separated by semicolons (If you separate them by commas, it will be saved with semicolons.) See the example below:

ServerA is the partitioned server and 9.88.43.113 & 9.88.46.110 are both virtual web servers. (Note: you can have up to 32 entries in this field)
Basics

Host name(s):

ServerA;9.88.43.113;9.88.46.110
Bind to host name:Enabled
DNS lookup:Disabled
Default home page:default.htm
Allow HTTP clients to browse databases:
Restart HTTP and you should now be able to send HTTP requests to the partitioned servers and all of the virtual servers for each partition.
