Description

When the 2 rudder vhosts run on the same IP address and port, only the ServerName and ServerAlias can differenciante between them, and wildcard use on the VirtualHost entry may be unreliable.

As the default configuration of the Rudder agent that runs ont the Rudder server itself specifies “127.0.0.1” as policy server, we want to make sure that a call to 127.0.0.1 is routed to the correct vhost.

So we need to add a “ServerAlias 127.0.0.1” entry to the proposed multi-vhost server configuration.
