Thanks, I do not know what the 'web1.a.net.' is about, more specifically he .net"." (dot on the end). i took this for the initial setup that was done on the box' initial entry in the /etc/hosts. ok what am i doing... I have apache running on the box and would like to use 3 diffferent IP's to try and keep (somewhat separate) the traffic, logging, etc. for the Virtual Hosts that are running there. ultimately I will have; <ip address 1> resolve to -> website 1 <ip address 2> resolve to -> website 2 <ip address 3> resolve to -> website 3 obviously they will bind to the same box but i would like to have them to separate ip's to ease some maintenance on the box, redirect traffic when needed, blah, blah. I know that I can Name more than one VirtualHost ie; NameVirtualHost ???.???.???.151:80 NameVirtualHost ???.???.???.152:80 NameVirtualHost ???.???.???.153:80 and then the normal VirtualHost directive via IP's but I want to make sure that the box will answer to those ip's when we flip the DNS switch. am i making sense? did i leave anything beyond the bind directive's out? ken; On Feb 9, 2005, at 1:57 PM, Lowell Gilbert wrote: > Ken Hawkins <ken@rosewoodblues.com> writes: > >> Sorry if this is not quite the place to ask however, if it is not can >> someone point me toward the right resource (on the net) for answers.
