Quoth Deepwell Internet: > Are there people running full production webserver off of one IP address? > Have you had any problems? I definitely *won't* have any problems when I deplete my assigned IP space and go to RIPE (living in Europe) to request more. You *will* have trouble getting new space if you've assigned all of your space to web hosts to cater for a very, very tiny minority of people who can be easily taken care of just as easily and almost as transparent in other ways. Yes. One IP address (to bind them all), no complaints. It has the added advantage that you can keep a 'hot spare' box with identical configuration in storage, and if a web server craps out, just bring up an alias interface with that IP address and continue with virtually no downtime. -- Niels.
