Virtual Host Groups
About
Virtual Host Groups are used to add domain names (e.g., subdomains) to a single vService (using a single IP address) under the WAF management screen of the respective vService. By clicking on the edit icon next to the Virtual Host Groups when in the WAF management screen, you can directly open a new Virtual Host creation form by clicking the (+) button in the image. This allows for the creation of different WAF rules for different services based on host header information. Additionally, individually created Virtual Hosts can operate in different WAF modes. For example, the www.tr7.com Virtual Host can be in blocking mode, while a newly added Virtual Host can be set to learning mode.
