Exactly, the current system gives the choice of setting it globally or per-interface in the same file. > But I agree, it makes no sense to even be able to set this per > interface. I can think of a couple of uses for this.

A server with multiple interfaces, running different domains on each, although this could also be done with virtual hosts. -- Neil Bothwick "Apple I" (c) Copyright 1767, Sir Isaac Newton.
