I agree with Peter here on every point - I've got most of them if not all of them working in practice. The only thing I'd add which he didn't make explicitly clear is that you can have sites with the same names, but different ports using different virtual servers if you so wish.
If you want an example config file then Peter kindly posted some examples to this list a couple of weeks ago. If you can't find them, then please just ask I'll post mine (In fact Nathan should already have it as I recently emailed it to him) > -----Original Message----- > From: AOLserver Discussion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf > Of Peter M.
