Nov 25  New vhosts tool released - The vhosts tool allows you to add your own virtual hosts, or vhosts. These are domains of the form 'example.com' or 'www.example.com' which you want served off of HCS's servers. From your end, you need to set your domains to be CNAMEs for www.hcs.harvard.edu. (Note: do not change the nameservers; HCS does not run any name servers.) A typical vhost entry looks like: Servername gregbrockman.com
ServerAlias www.gregbrockman.com test.hcs.gregbrockman.com
