Yes...that is the key.....from this site:


you can see a workaround to have the VM answer on a different port
of the main/real IP.....but this becomes a real problem for multiple VM's
per 'real' IP from a webserver standpoint.

traffic, you could probably do that with squid

Squid might
work.....if the sites are Static...(and not LAMP setups).....but again, it
seems like a kludge.

Yes...that's the goal....but the details are the killer
here...grin......rather than...Have Idea ->=A0 A miracle happens
-> The end result.

that's probably what I'm going to have to do...was hoping to find a DNS
/ NAT or some kinda workaround though

for each domain I host (about 20).

This is a setup for about 40
sites.....in, maybe, 8 or so groups.

Thanks again - Dave
