No it's not, HTTP points to a ip adres, the ip adres can have virtual hosts, it cannot send the request to pc1.my.domain.com if that matches or to pc2.my.domain.com This can be done if you use a Reversed Proxy or an Gateway which can make the decision to send it to host x when the HTTP/1.1 request is Host: host x Cheers > -- Kind regards, Remko Lodder Elvandar.org/DSINet.org www.mostly-harmless.nl A Dutch community for helping newcomers on the hackerscene
