Thanks, but as I mentioned when Chuck brought this up yesterday, my "ServerName" directive is set properly in the format: ServerName www.mydomain.com in httpd.conf. This does not seem to make any difference at all. >As far as your security concerns go, you can not run a website without >exposing the IP address of the webserver machine, with or without masking. >If a client machine didn't know your IP address, it would not know where to >retrieve your web pages from. Agreed (though not entirely true; you can use a web redirect service to successfully cloak a true IP address; I've done this successfully), but that's not really what I'm after. I just don't want my IP address and port number combination glaring in a web browser's address bar when a user visits my web site. I realize that if someone really wanted to resolve my IP, they could, but I'm also thinking of people who don't know what an IP address is, and are asking me questions like "What happened to the web site? I typed in the words you told me to, and it turned into a bunch of numbers!"
