Go to the configuration in IIS for the default website and remove any identies that have blank host header names. This way, no web site will be displayed by IIS for a bare IP address or for host names that you've pointed at the IP address without having yet set up a virtual web site. You'll get something like a "No web site is configured at this address" message returned in your browser. Also consider creating the virtual web site as soon as you do the DNS, then put up a blank index page or an under construction page. If you have both development and production servers and this is a brand new site, then do this on the production server. That way you don't have to migrate from the dev server IP to the new IP in the future. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Faircloth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 2:54 PM Subject: RE: How to set virtual sites for localhost viewing? > One thing I noticed about the DNS handling is that > without a host header to handle www.ShellmanBluffOutfitters.com, > it defaults to my default website, which is just a placeholder for an > old > site. > > I went into the DNS and took out the www A Record and when that didn't > cause www.ShellmanBluffOutfitters.com to display a "can't be found" > error, > I went into the CName's and took out the www there, too.
