The dns/virtual hosting is nothing more than serveral names for the same
website, thus no reason for authentication.

This is the best/simplest way to have more than one domain name for a web
site, you will have complete controll over it, not the client, thus
eliminating the *nned* for authentication.

NOW, if you are only wanting to allow access to certain parts of the
website, this too can be done easily (in linux), but we still do not know
what you are trying to do, tell us what you are doing not what you think you
need to do. I mean this only, becouse I think you are trying to allow
access to parts of your data, no entire site, you you are doing affiliate
sites, every goal, has a differnt solution
