Hello:

I presently am using Linux. I need to set up a Web Server that can handle multi-homing / virtual domain 
names.  I plan to use APACHE. I am hoping the FreeBsd can accomodate virtual domain names 
(mapping multiple IP address to the same machine) than LINUX, Linux requires dummy devices and 
seems somewhat convuluted. There is also some question as to how many virtual domains Linux can 
handle ?

So I guess my question is two parts. Does anyone have any experience with multi-homing/Apache or 
NCSA on Freebsd ? Does it work and is it straight forward ?

Who offers the best distribution of FreeBsd on CD-ROM ?

Thanks in advance for any help ?
