Say if you are running a virtual server system and both user A and user B telnet into the system with their own unique IP address and try to run a java chat server..I would assume that only one of them would be able run the daemon because it would bind itself to all available IP addresses. If there was a way to limit what IP address it would bind to, each would be able to run their own version. Software configuration is out of the question because you'd have to rely on the client to know how to configure the software to listen on a specific IP address, not to mention not every daemon can be configured to listed on a specific IP address. Any thoughts or hints would be greatly appreciated. Andy Angrick HostResource.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
