10.5.20. `UseCanonicalName`

When set to on, this directive configures the Apache HTTP Server to reference itself using the value specified in the ServerName and Port directives. When UseCanonicalName is set to off, the server instead uses the value used by the requesting client when referring to itself.

UseCanonicalName is set to off by default.
