We're now starting to do virtualhosting for people, and thus far I've been setting up virtualhosts using cnames. The thing is, we've currently three almost entirely free class C banks of IP addresses, and I was wondering if it would be better to use IP based virtualhosting, or stick with our current scheme of using cnames to one host? Could anyone explain the performance differences if any involved in using IP vs CNAME virtualhosts? Or does it matter at all? Pors/cons, that kind of stuff please. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
