Interesting question. This isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but personally I wouldn't attempt this even if it's possible. I think you're much better off doing this on another server so you can mess with configuration without running the risk of interrupting service on your production box. That being said, and I've never tried this so it's certainly a "attempt at your own risk" situation, in theory it seems to me that if you have OpenBD running on Tomcat, for example, depending on how you have things configured I don't see why IIS would know or care that Apache was *also* talking to OpenBD and vice-versa. You could probably even have IIS use one connection method to Tomcat and Apache use another if you wanted. But again, I'd try all this out on another box. Even a VM just for testing purposes would be well worth the effort to set up, because then you can experiment freely without bringing your production box down. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon online manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
