[Gllug] Problem with Apache & Virtual Hosting

The machine seems to be pretty stable... although fairly low-spec Pentium
350 with 64MB RAM.
Not using any mod-rewrites... so I'm stumped there.
Definitely not a browser issue... tested with telnet to port 80
Not using a proxy...
I'm guessing that it may have something to do with child processes spawned
by apache or something
but not sure. Thanks for the help though...
Ciao
Rowan

Apache shouldn't be doing this (and, I would bet, isn't). Is the machine it
runs on generally stable? This could be a sign of RAM slowly going.

Also, are you using any kung-fu mod_rewrite rules, or something like that?
The fact that something which did work then breaks means that the
configuration is changing somehow - I don't think that's an Apache thing.

I would also check that Apache is actually serving the right stuff by using
telnet to port 80 - it could be your browser (or, more likely, proxy, if you
have one) that could be dropping the Host: info.

Cheers,
