• D. It is possible but not mandatory to have unique IP addresses for each virtual host.
• E. The site1.example.com virtual host shares and error logs with site2.example.com.

Correct answer: A, C, E

Explanation

Statement C is incorrect as DHCP is not involved in virtual host IP assignment; it uses the configured IP addresses. Statement E is also incorrect as virtual hosts typically have separate logs unless configured otherwise.
