I do suggest not mixing live net ips and public addresses on the same interface. I have eth0 live telstra allocated ip's and eth1 with the 192.168.x.x addresses Makes management easy :) and troubleshooting in this case -----Original Message----- From: Barrie Hall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Peter Vogel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: SLUG user group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, 27 January 2000 6:55 Subject: Re: [SLUG] Still trying to solve my virtual hosts problem >Hi Peter, > >Let's see if we can fix this: > >> I am trying to hget virtual hosts running on my Linux box.
