Doug: For the benefit of those who were not sure like me on the vhost setup
for FrontPage, I got it set up this time using "fp_install.sh". For some
reason, this setup script is inconsistant and this time it found my
httpd.conf file and saw the new vhost! Two times before it did not see the
vhosts. Here's a snippet of the install dialogue:

=====================================
<snip/>
Installing Virtual Webs...

Do you want to install Virtual Webs (y/n) [Y]?  
Server config filename []:  /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf
Getting User from /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf

  1) www.vhost1.net
  2) www.vhost2.com

Select the virtual web to install (CTRL-D if no more webs): 2
</snip>
=====================================

Bang! It installed as another ROOT web.... for the vhost. Now as seen
above, there are TWO vhost document roots on FronPage on one IP....

Now to add more vhosts....
