Hate to repost but I'm completely stumped by this one and have noticed a few related 
questions for this recently...

Actually it was, er... Harald Koch - sorry to drag you in Harald but do you have 
details of how to do this or were you using some proprietary solution (Netscape's 
server products?)

This is the config that doesn't work..
