Well, that isn't so easy with cern but works very easily with apache; ncsa doesn't come with the patches preinstalled but the 'thesphere' web page given above does describe them. (apache is based on ncsa but is heavily modified, and includes the virtual host mapping stuff by default...) (actually it isn't all that hard with cern but requires a new copy of the server for each virtual host.) So if you don't need the proxy features of cern, apache is easy to configure for multiple virtual hosts. (see http://www1.clubnet.net; it heads a tree with several links to more virtual hosts on the same machine. This one is running a more-or-less 2.0.5 with 6 IP addresses on each of two ethernet ports; they all work.) -- Pete
