thankyou, yeah - that worked... only i have several domain names and many many more subdomains... each time i build a new website for a new client i set them up in the virtual domain name - this will create a massive hosts file, and i'd have to set that for each of the computers that are on the internal network, and need to see these files... i'm currently trying to set up an internal dns server to handle wildcard *.justken.net *.youthcircle etc names. i thought there was a way to do it using a combination of inat, and ipf and bounce - but i couldn't get that to work. thanks for the suggestion - it could be an emergency solution to get work done tomorrow if i cant get the dns solution to work! ken >Hi Ken, > >Here is what I do to hit my various virtual servers: > >My internal NAT network is 192.168.15.0 > >My webserver runs on 192.168.15.200 >My Win2K box runs on whatever dhcp gives it .. 15.30 to 15.60 > >On my webserver, I have all the virutal servers in my /etc/hosts file: > >192.168.15.200 foo.domain >192.168.15.200 bubblegum.domain >192.168.15.200 another.domain > >I can access all of these direct for my server ( development laptop ) or >from my Win2K box.
