[Xitami] Vhosts?

[Adrian C. Moore]

Ok thanks by the way.  I believe I want req's to certian names to get
different folders.  can  you give me an example of what scheme one would use
for doing this.  the faq ( i think) covered this but I am just too thick
headed at the moments to get what it was saying.  So, if I have two names
set up at say dyndns.  one named frusterated.dyndns.com, and
need-school.dyndns.com can I set up xitami to use a different vhost for each
site?  you may have already answered this but I am not sure.  Consequently,
thanks a million, and sorry for the continued ignorance.
