Webppliance automatically sets up host headers for the domain.com and www.domain.com<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you add additional host headers ( say you want domain.net aliased to domain.com) remember that Ensim does not add the additional domain to DNS. You have to add that manually.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the next time we come across such a situation (which is not too infrequent as far as I remember), please try to implement the above and check out if it does really work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, if you do manage to get it to work, please update this post so we can all be sure of it.
