But other than creating two A records (and breaking reverse lookups, which I don't want to do because of the email issues), I wouldn't be able to implement a wildcard setup for a domain with a dedicated IP on a single domain server... is that correct? Could I not still use my single server and get an admin domain for the CMS app, and point the domain to a different IP (but the same server hardware), then use a wildcard host header for the CMS domain? Such as *.CMSdomain.com? Or would I have to enter a subdomain for each website...e.g., Bodaford.CMSdomain.com, Johnson.CMSdomain.com as host headers. Also, I'm still not sure why I couldn't (or maybe I could...things are getting a little confused here... :oP) use the same server I use now for serving sites, purchase an admin domain, point it to my current server, use a wildcard or specific host headers to point to the CMS site, and handle the app like that...??? I think I may be confused over what point proper DNS setup requires independent server hardware and software, and also a separate IP as opposed to what I've been doing the last several years...just running a single server (hardware and software) using a single IP and host headers. What aspects of what I'm trying to do requires going to a separate IP or server hardware and software, it at all?

You'd still have to create the virtual server, but it would be simpler than creating the virtual server, binding it to an IP address, etc. Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
