[Mono-list] Virtual Hosts patch plans

[Shawn Vose]

Right now I need to get mon_mono working. I just got the source
yesterday and started to install it but it drops out with a service
unavailable. Also xsp drops with an unhandled exception. I need to
review the list archives because I know this is not a new problem.
Once I have that accomplished I will be ready to give a stab at it.
