Only some of the information there applies to FreeBSD. First, you
do not need a kernel patch on FreeBSD to assign multiple IP addresses
to a network interface. Second, you can have an unlimited number of
aliases (well, at least 70, which is the most I've ever tried).
Third, you won't need any patches to the server if you run the Apache
0.6.5 httpd. http://www.hyperreal.com/apache/. It uses the
VirtualHosts directive to assign separate root directories,
maintainers, etc. for each IP address. Problem solved.
