[BlueOnyx:06652] Re: Multiple Sites to IP Address

[Richard Morgan]

I think, subject to all the normal disclaimers, you can add a site you want 
to respond on the IP from the BX GUI.

Then edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and move the relevant site up to the 
top of the list from within the Include /etc... section at the end.

I've done this before, but never checked it to see if it stays after 
changes/updates.
