That is a special case because you are using a "developer's edition" of IIS. XP is not a server and Microsoft is enforcing that. IIS on any of their server products handles multiple domain setups with no probs. It's a matter of using the right tools for the job ;-) if you are just using it for development, there are some freeware tools out there that will switch what the active domain is for you. We used that at the Discovery channel for our local development sandboxes quite effectively. It was a lot easier than messing with Apache on Windows.

I bring it up now (with that config) and all is well. Just a fluke (I never turn on caching...) Thanks to everyone for their help. Dave, I have to disagree to a point. Ease of use isn't the question, really, it's 'What is the best tool for the job?' IIS doesn't handle multiple domain setups in IIS on WinXP simultaneously, therefore it doesn't meet my needs. I like IIS, and have used it for many years, but it won't serve my development needs any longer, as I now bounce around quite a bit between different domains. And, I did want to learn something new. OS/2 was a great Operating System, but IBM didn't market it correctly, letting Microsoft beat 'em out, and C is perfectly fine for a small cgi script if it's all you know and it serves your purpose (and it still does for some people). But now I've joined into another 'debate', when it really belongs in CF-Community. I apologize for that. Thank you to everyone who tried to help me with my latest experiment. So far I think Apache rocks. After an initial setup, maybe a CF based Apache config tool would be an interesting project? Hey Ray, what are you up to?
