Quite slick. We use this for our wiki hosting since it eases setup and lighttpd+fastcgi is such a great combination. If you don’t need all the features of Apache, lighttpd can do this in two lines:

simple-vhost.server-root = “/home/web”
simple-vhost.document-root = “/htdocs/”

Then, create a directory:

/home/web/host.name.com/htdocs/

And you instantly have a virtual host. Quite slick. We use this for our wiki hosting since it eases setup and lighttpd+fastcgi is such a great combination.
