hey tod,
thanks for getting back to me. hmmm, the isp violation is probably the biggest issue - i have a feeling that in the uk they are gonna kick up a stink (in the uk 'british telecomm' have got the whole thing pretty much stitched up - makes me wonder why we have a monopolies commission??) but it is possible, which is encouraging. i'll look into the virtual domain thing on apache (i've used it one windows so i'm guessing it's pretty much the same for osx) and see how i go. next step, contacting the isp's... cheers, jake on 22/5/02 2:27 pm, Tod Fitch at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Given a static IP what you want to do is possible.
