Looks great, but it's equivalent to my suggestion to use Apache with name virtual hosts and mod_proxy. Howard wants something for all (?) protocols, which is impossible in principle because you don't know which name they want in general -- all the server gets is the ip.

You want to use something called 'pound'. I use it to do exactly what you ask. http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ One binary, one configuration file. Piece of cake.

You've got your tenses wrong. The first VT-enabled chips shipped about a month ago, and it's now available in a number of laptop, desktop, and rack-mount server units. AMD's Pacifica, on the other hand, doesn't look to be out and about for a few months yet. > I have a problem with VMware after 2.6.13 kernel - it won't compile on > 2.6.24 and later, which is why I am looking at Xen. Not surprising it doesn't compile -- guessing kernel ABIs 9 versions in advance would be a neat trick. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Re: DNS - Xen - Virtual server hosting
I think you want a split horizon DNS server that serves different responses inside and outside. I'm assuming that both hosts are on the internal network and that you are running your own DNS inside this network. Are you running SSL services or is there some reason that the hostnames have to match what the server thinks its called? How were you planning on routing to the correct machine from the outside anyway if they have the one IP address, using virtualhosts?
