The problems seem *not* to occur if there is 1 and only 1 VirtualHost, but this system was running fine with half a dozen VirtualHosts only a week ago. I made sure that all the IP addresses, aliases, and DNS files were correct. The problem occurs with Apache 1.0.2 and with Apache 1.1.1. I have exhausted all the things I could think of. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- http://www.lightside.net/~fred/ + net access + http://www.lightside.net/ "Attempts to control the use of encryption technology are wrong in principle, unworkable in practice, and damaging to the long term economic value of the information networks." - UK Labour Party
