Let's say you have a team of developers all working on ip 127.0.0.1 ...
developer one is using iis and has c:/inetpub/something set as their web
directory ... developer 2 has apache and is using C:/Web as webroot. The ip
address doesn't pick up on stuff like that. The only way I know is via the
machine name and that can only be obtained through the registry.

This is cool!
I love how the code rewrote itself.
BuTtTtTt, how does this differ from simply quering the value of
CGI.HTTP_HOST ?
