The problem I was trying to solve was achieving functionality similar to “Virtual Hosts” without being able to add new Virtual Hosts to Apache config files. If you have full control of the server there are of course easier ways.

I or myself tried the solution buildin into Apache through the ‘Virtual Host’ approach.
Name-based VHosts do exactly what you are tring to archieve: serving content based upon the requested domain/hostname. This even ives the ability to create ‘failback hosts’ so, if the server is requesed either of its ‘dns’ or vhost-names or its ip-address , the server responds the respoective content (from the vhost) or if no matchin vhost is found, it serves the default one.

Another solution is to use SERVER_NAME instead of HTTP_HOST. This only works if UseCanonicalName is Off, though.
