Re: [Proftpd-user] basic+ config needed

From what I gather in the documentation, FTP cannot support "virtual" 
domains without each domain having it's own IP address.  This is 
because the incoming connection doesn't identify what server it wants 
to connect to.  This is different from http ( post 1.1 spec ) where 
the incoming connection specifically names the connection it wants.

This is not a limitation of ProFTPD - this is a limitation of the FTP 
protocol itself.
