What do other people do with such > requests? If I get your question right, what you are asking for is the concept of virtual hosts. I have a server, polisci.msu.edu which has at least three such hosts on it. That is set up in the httpd.conf file in Apache. With that, you can have any number of hosts that all point back to various places in the real machine. If you need an example of how to do the config I can send you mine. I'm running Apache 1.3. --STeve Andre' Political Science
