Virtual Host Configuration
Use
Virtual hosting is a concept that refers to the option of specifying several virtual hosts within a Web server, each responding to different URL. Each of the different virtual hosts can have different set of settings that affect HTTP requests processing. These are name-based virtual hosts, that is, each host name is mapped to a single real IP address of the server or the cluster of servers. You can do this mapping using your Domain Name System (DNS).
To gain in flexibility by providing different configuration settings for each of the virtual hosts, you have to use virtual hosting.
Using SAP NetWeaver Administrator, you can create new virtual hosts and configure existing ones for all registered systems.
Features

If you select a virtual host from the list, the configuration settings for it are displayed in the Details frame.
