Hey, sounds like you understand things so well you see the void in the forest. As a newbie I'm still just trying to keep my head from twisting off at long enough intervals to define some of the questions. Like, given I have 5 boxes - 1 fbsd 4 windoz though maybe that proportion will change in a time :) - and each has their own ip adr and I have two apaches installed does that mean I can setup a max of 5 different domain level websites on my intranet? Or 10? Or infinite (well, this is reality I hope so...) The daemons are afoot, my ponderings do not affect them.
