Hi!! I have problem for which I'm sure there is a simple and PROPER solution -- please help! The problem is, I have set up my Apache server, but have only my machine for testing. Although I'm online, requests from my browser typically end up "redirected" through 127.0.0.1 (lo0). This is inconvenient, since things which work from home have proven unreliable from remote. Specifically, I have a web page hosted by my ISP, but it is too small, so I redirect back to by dynamic IP from there. In order to test this, it is critical to circumvent loopback "short-circuit". Can anyone help me? I've really been trying hard to find the answer... (I'm actually running OpenBSD, but they don't care to answer this on misc@openbsd.org.) Very Much Thanks in advance, -Jet
