Well.. the only downside to not using one IP per domain, is certain browsers will not work. Now, if you have a web page(s) that can only be read by a certain browser, say you need Netscape 4 or IE4 it probably wouldnt matter much. But we use one IP per domain, even though probably 90% of the browsers are Netscape, with the rest mostly IE. This is the usage we are seeing, that was not a comment on Netscape market share! :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
