You can only do this for the primary (default) virtual host on the server,

unless you've been granted a separate IP address for each web site you

serve.


In other words, if you take the Chopstix server... This manages requests

for 10 virtual hosts (or web sites if you prefer) but there is only one IP

address and this applies only to chopstixmedia.com. The other virtual hosts

are name-based which means that the server works out which one to deliver

according to information passed to it by the browser client, eg.

http://www.chopstix.net/


I hope that's reasonably clear. :-)


All the best,
