AFAIK the only problem with non-ip virtual web hosting is that on some very old browsers (netscape 1, mosaic etc) you just get the main page for the machine, because they don't send the full address of the page they're trying to get. But, no browser software currently shipping has that problem. There should be no reason not to use non-ip vhosting. -- ______________________________________________________________ | ian eure, network admin, freelance security consultant, and | | manically depressed paranoid schizophrenic, at your service. | ; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://minion.org ; : raw speed = 105.6 wpm with 4.5% errors : . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
