[BlueOnyx:06645] Multiple Sites to IP Address

As everyone knows, you can have multiple sites for an IP address when SSL is
not needed.  However, there is a side effect.  I had a customer who put in
mail.siteb.com and since there wasn't a web alias in the configuration, but
another site, it resolved to www.sitea.com, because when it resolved the IP,
that site was the IP address that was I guess the first site.

Of course, now he is upset because he has no affiliation with www.sitea.com.

In IIS, I can force host header resolution to the point where IP resolution
won't work.  In other words, http://www.sitea.com will work but not
http://10.10.10.10.

How could we accomplish the same thing with BlueOnyx?

What I had to do in the mean time, was add all of the A records to the web
aliases, but my thought is if he types in the IP address, he will get upset.
Of course, I could just simply give him his own IP address and I might have
to do that for this customer, but what about other customers?

Regards,

Rashid
