Date: Thu, 16 May 96 15:04:26 GMT Organization: Pillar/Blake International Lines: 15 Message-ID: <4nfqe3$m6p@nadine.teleport.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 206.251.72.5 X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #3 Thanks to all who helped me make the decision to use apache, as opposed to CERN for httpd. Seems like Apache will work better for many features, including virtual domain names. There is mention of the Virtual InterFace, and adding this psuedo device to the kernel, to do ip aliasing--more than one ip address on the same card. The talk, from John Ioannidis, is about performing this on a SunOS 4.1.x machine. I have also seen some stuff bantered around this group about how to accomplish this on FreeBSD. It is my desire not to recompile the kernel, adding support for VIF, if I can possibly avoid it. Is there a better way to perform ip aliasing on FreeBSD (2.1)? Peace, Blake
