I just tried in Phoenix/Firebird and also got the "No web site..." message. IE6 just returns it's boring ol' 404 page.

Well, adding the www. returns 500 errors in both Phoenix and IE6 here. I'm so impressed by all this I'm thinking I'll bin those pesky FreeBSD machines and migrate to IIS! :-) Kevin -- kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk
