RE: One IP - 3 Sites - 3 Domain Names
Under HTTP/1.1 it is possible to run multiple sites on port 80, from the same IP address. The host header name (ie. domain name) is used to distinguish between each site. I don't know what the support in Orion is for host header names, but also be aware that some older browsers may not work correctly if they are not HTTP/1.1 compliant.
