Resolve all domains to server IP?

Can I do this in apache?

[FormosaKing]

Here's my setup:

1. Lots of domains with nameservers set as ns1.myserver.com and ns2.myserver.com
2. My nameservers resolve the hostnames and point to one of several backend web servers through a load balancer
3. Each backend web server has a DNS entry for EVERY domain, using its own IP

I was wondering if I could just have things set up so I don't need DNS on the web servers at all... and I don't want to put entries in the /etc/hosts file. I want ALL HTTP requests to the web servers to be processed automatically.

Thanks.

I'm no load-balancing expert, but that question seems to be the key: What is it in the back-end servers' configuration that requires them to be aware of hostnames? Are they set up as name-based virtual servers instead of being configured as IP-based virtual servers or dedicated servers? Are self-requests being made via HTTP that should be being made directly to the filesystem instead? You should be able to configure these servers so that there isn't any dependency on "domain names."
