This sounds promising. As mentioned, I only have one public IP for multiple domains.
I have tried many combinations of vhost directives (mostly, name-based) and none will direct to my internal server. Would you happen to have a <VirtualHost> directive example that I could look at? It would be *much* appreciated. The firewall matter isn't related to the number of public IP's, as I only have the one. But several domains are registered to that one IP and I want to serve them all out, over the external webserver machine, using whatever native facility apache 2.x can offer. And I have been all over the apache documentation, time and time again. I literally have over 25 hours in this and it's almost as frustrating as my battle to bring up a Linksys WDT-11 wireless NIC under RH 7.2. That one took 40 hours :) Brad > Actually, Apache will let you set up virtual hosts either way - > all using the same IP on a single box, or you can setup Linux to > respond to multiple IP addresses on the same box, and then tell > Apache to direct based upon the destination IP address.
