I have a web application that needs to support custom domains, in that regard I have set-up the following name based virtual server:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias * *.example.com www.example.com example.com
RailsEnv production
RackEnv production
DocumentRoot /srv/www/example/current/public
<Directory /srv/www/example/current/public>
AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
ErrorLog /srv/www/example/log/error.log
TransferLog /srv/www/example/log/access.log
</VirtualHost>
Notice the * as the server alias? that catches all the domains on that server. However, I have other sites on this server which I want to be excluded from this list. It is more economical for me to have a list of excluded domains than manually set every domain a user may register with at this service as a serverAlias...
Perhaps this is not the best way to go, but I'm looking for help, in the best (relatively simple) way to set up a web-app that may catch any domains, while allowing other specific domains to be routed to different apps.
Thanks!
