A simple note about IIS, the version that come with XP and 2K workstation
(aka personal webserver) didn't allow to create multiple sites (with
multiple host name), and only allow multiple virtual sites, or I currently
didn't have find this features :(
For the moment I've switched all my old use of application scope var to
scope domain avoiding the / path problem that melt all the applications var
that are defined with the same root ('/') in application.ini, and it work
fine
BTW I didn't know the poor man's DNS settings and that an usefull tips :)
Thanks
Gauthier
