The servers have to appear really sepparate. For that I'm going to do the following: 1) give the ethernet card an alias ip and assign a domainname to this second ip. 2) upon request from inetd on port 80 start a wrapper which checks the used ip to contact us. 3) start a httpd from the wrapper which reads the config file which belongs to this domain (ip) My questions: Is this the best way to set this up, or does anyone have another alternative ? Which httpd should I use ? I currently use ncsa httpd in daemon mode, but have cern running as well (just set it up to experiment with) on port 8080 from inetd now. Can I specify a config file for httpd to read, or will it always read the one which is compiled in ? I.e. will I have to make binaries for each domain which each read different config files ? Does anyone have a setup which would also work for me ? If so, can you explain to me how you solved it ? Thanks, - Rob. -- /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
