(I think we call it > "Virtual Hosts") Virtual domains may imply mail handling for multiple domains such as here where I am robin@is.co.za and robin@isc.co.za etc. The mail handling isn't part of the operating system but the mail transfer agent (sendmail) that is shipped with FreeBSD can certainly handle mail for multiple domains. As Doug says, FreeBSD can do IP aliasing too. -- _ __ | Only my ideas here unless I say otherwise...
