AH! thats it. http://localhost/~mikel now access my public_html directory
with "allow from localhost". I can now convert all iinstances of my own
static addr in the access file to localhost.

#UseCanonicalName on
So if I was using 'localhost' which is refering to a URL that the request
comes from then it would use ServerName:Port ie b4114:80 ?
(Real names here now.)
With it off (ie just now I commented it out) what would it use as
hostname for me gives b4114
Im a little confused between the server name and hostname.
This machine here has name b4114 but its not listed in the Unis DNS.
I have
#ServerName new.host.name
of course commented out.

Thats excellent. Yep run as root I can see it shows all the packets on the
local interface and dumps lots when you use the browser at http://localhost
etc. I'll have a play and see the diff with b4114.
