Direct all clean traffic using an exact match on the host.

$HTTP["host"] == “www.<example>.com” {
   server.document-root = “/www/sites/<example>.com/www/”
}

Trap all traffic not directed to the main site (regex non-match), then filter remaining traffic headed to the correct domain with the wrong host (regex) and redirect to the main site.

$HTTP["host"] !~ “^(www|mail)\.(<example>\.com)$” {
   $HTTP["host"] =~ “(^|.*\.)<example>\.com” {
      url.redirect = ( “^/(.*)” => “http://www.<example>.com/” )
   }
}

This is an effective defensive technique to guard against redundant content bombing in which a competitor submits URLs containing different hosts with the same domain to search engines making it appear as if the target site has several pages of identical content

Download, Compile And Install Package

Unfortunately, as of OpenBSD 4.0 there isn’t a standard package for PHP with FastCGI support.

cd /tmp
tar xzf /tmp/php5.1-with-fastcgi-openbsd-4.0.tar.gz
cd /tmp/php5 && make install clean

…wait a long, long time…
