Google and Host Header

Will one ip address and several domain names, which are split with the help
of host headers, work well with Google? Will each domain be regarded as an
independant entity by Google, or will Google regard them all as the same?

Not sure what you mean by host headers but Google treats different
domain names on the same IP as separate sites AFAIKS. For example
mysite.com and www.mysite.com are different sites.

In the world of "not enough ip addresses" Host Headers are a way for having
one ip address but having several domain names.

Many different domain names may point to the same ip address. The request,
which arrives at the server belonging to the ip address, is responsible to
look into the request header, and find out which domain the request is
targeted for.

I think one cannot be sure, that Host Headers are indeed supported by
Goggle. I'd like to hear from somebody, who has actually used it
successfully.

Of course it is not the request's responsibility. It is the server's
responsibility to look into the request header.

ok http 1.1... that was such an obvious oversight in the original HTTP
protocol. Still TBL knows very little about protocols.
