yes, but in IIS these are called sites. So, for example you have the Default site on port 80 which points http://your.com/ to d:\inetpub\wwwroot\. You can create a new site called say foo listening on port 99 pointing http://your.com:99/ to d:\inetpub\fooroot\
And one step further you can have a different instance of Jrun/CFMX for each of these. :) Doug On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 12:27:21 -0500, Rick Faircloth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So, when referencing the "virtual server", I'd just use a URL like > http://66.79.46.138:85/Index.cfm because it would take the visitor > directly inside the root directory?
