It's been a while for me so keep that in mind.  On my last assignment we 
were running Netscape Enterprise, don't recall the version number. 
Anyway, it has two options for virtual servers, what they refer to as 
hardware virtual servers and software virtual servers.  At the time, I 
found quite a bit of info on the Netscape website regarding this 
functionality.

The bottom line is, unless Enterprise has changed since I used it, you 
definitely can do what you outlined you want to do in previous emails, 
since we did the exact same thing.

I know that's not much help, but the grey matter goes after you past 45...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
