I cannot say enough good things about welcome - it has saved my butt many times. With webstar virtual hosts we found that we had to put four entries per domain: domain.com domain.com. www.domain.com www.domain.com. (notice the trailling '.') as some people add the trailling . and some don't. Welcome handles domain.com and domain.com. as one entry and yes it does support wildcards. The biggest advantage I find with Welcome is configuration via a text file - our Database (Provue Panorama) automatically writes the config file on the fly and Welcome reloads it almost straight away.
