Tell the Internic they aren't scarce and see what they say. I will be surprised if the Internic doesn't soon consider that you don't need to waste addresses to serve multiple domains. The Internet is moving forward, so should it's users. It won't be long before the vast majority of clients and servers use a single IP for virtual domains. It also doesn't take much to support both. Besides, if you're still using an old browser, you're going to be missing a lot more than just a Host: header. Ron
