I wouldn't mind using name-based hosting, but I have seen some issues with Apache where it doesn't always serve up the correct site. I haven't found a good way to do it at all with IIS, since you must identify an IIS-hosted site by IP address. (Please, someone let me know if there's a way to do name-based hosting with IIS - I'd like to do it!) -- North Shore Technologies, Cleveland, OH http://NorthShoreTechnologies.net Steve Sobol, BOFH - President, Chief Website Architect and Janitor Linux Instructor, PC/LAN Program, Natl.
