Umm,, I'll bite. If www.sco.com and www.caldera.com are on the same IP, how do you create a DDoS that wouldn't take out the Caldera site as well? A sheer-traffic DDoS will hurt both. A synflood will hurt both. The webserver that's listening on port 80 doesn't know which site is being connected to until it actually reads in the HTTP/1.1 headers and looks at the Host: tag - and if there's enough things arriving with 'Host: www.sco.com', it will require some *very* creative filtering/limiting to keep one website working while the other is down....
