Its mostly an issue of whatever web server you use. Know Apache can host multiple sites on one machine where each site has its own IP address. Believe Apache is also capable of recognizing multiple aliases for the same IP address. > i am fully aware of the bandwidth constraint that > comes with cable modem, but i just want to have the > experience when i am going out there looking for a > job? :o) The bandwidth constraint on a cable modem is nothing more nor nothing less than the ISP makes it. My RCA DCM215 cablemodem has a 100baseTX ethernet connection and the box says it will do up to 38M bits/sec over the cable. Its my understanding when the modem registers on the wire a central box managed by the cable company instructs my modem as to what rate to throttle connections. Throttled at 500/100 its still better than the 64k ISDN connection 10 people share at work. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
