Hi Davide

So that i understand you correctly would it be possible to edit the below
code
so that i can see exactly the changes you mean

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster.DeleteThis@xxx.co.uk
DocumentRoot /usr/home/xxx
ServerName <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.xxx.co.uk" target="_blank">www.xxx.co.uk</a>
ErrorLog logs/xxx.co.uk-error_log
CustomLog logs/xxx.co.uk-access.log "combined"
scriptalias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/xxx/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>

I think there is some confusion.
You cant change the server name to the ip address of the person acessing
that
website as removing the servername will dis-associate the domain name from
the the website completely.
Can you confirm?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Re-reading what u wrote im wondering if you mean add a second servername
such as below.

This doesn't work.

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster.RemoveThis@xxx.co.uk
DocumentRoot /usr/home/xxx
ServerName <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.xxx.co.uk" target="_blank">www.xxx.co.uk</a>
ServerName 82.125.24.24
ErrorLog logs/xxx.co.uk-error_log
CustomLog logs/xxx.co.uk-access.log "combined"
scriptalias /cgi-bin/ /usr/home/xxx/cgi-bin/
DirectoryIndex index.htm index.html index.php
</VirtualHost><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Yes, indeed...

I wasn't proposing that, I was proposing to use the IP address OF THE
SERVER as "server name", so only typing <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://the.ip.address.here" target="_blank">http://the.ip.address.here</a>
would have the result of showing the web site.

BTW, you can't have two ServerName directive, if you need more
"names" use ServerAlias.
