No. You can safely put all the "Listens" up front. > 2) I use godaddy's forwarding feature for my domain name <whatever.com> > does anyone know why I have to use the actual IP address when I want to get > my web server to respond to anything other than the port 80 at > <whatever.com>?

It's a "GoDaddy" problem. The way their forwarding works is that they set up a virtualhost with your domain name on one of their servers, and forward all requests. But they only do this for port 80. You need to make whatever.com point directly to your IP, in stead of using a forwarding service. If your IP is dynamic you could use a service like zoneedit.com. I've been using them for ages now for my homeserver. Krist -- krist.vanbes...@gmail.com kr...@vanbesien.org Bremgarten b. Bern, Switzerland -- A: It reverses the normal flow of conversation.
