http-listeners

none

(optional) References the name attribute of the default web-module for this virtual server, which responds to requests that cannot be resolved to other web modules deployed to this virtual server (see the application-ref element).

hosts

A comma-separated list of values, each of which selects the current virtual server when included in the Host request header. Two or more virtual-server elements that reference or are referenced by the same http-listener cannot have any hosts values in common.

state

on

(optional) Determines whether a virtual-server is active (on) or inactive (off, disabled). The default is on (active). When inactive, a virtual-server does not service requests.

log-file

(optional) Writes this virtual server’s log messages to a log file separate from the server log. The file and directory in which the virtual server log is kept must be writable by the user account under which the server runs. See the log-service description for details about logs.
