10_dynamic_vhosts.conf

Place under Apache's vhost.d/ configuration folder and add "-D DYNAMIC_VHOSTS" to Apache's conf.d/ file.

I don't see what the point of this bug is. mod_vhost_alias has been around for quite some time, and any HTTP/1.1 compliant browser (which is pretty much every usable browser out there) can handle virtual hosts.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_vhost_alias.html

Anyone who has enough websites to need this functionality will be plenty capable of finding and using that documentation, as they will be plenty intimate with Apache.
