Re: [WEB400] HTTP server configs

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You shouldn't be putting a hostname (ie
www.carltheshoemaker.com) in your config, you should use an
IP address.

You bind to IP address, not domain names.  The DNS is
seperate from the web server in your case.

So, you need to create a new IP interface, start it, then
use that IP address in your config file.

If you're as.400 is behind a firewall, then you also need an
external IP address and that is the IP address you hook the
DNS up to.  Then, when requests are made to that external IP
address, the firewall/router magically forwards the request
to your internal IP address.  You're as400 knows nothing of
www.carlshoemaker.com, it only knows about it's interal IP
address.

This is if you want seperate instances.  You can use one
instance and qualify your configs with actual domain names
(ie host headers, or virtual hosting), but I don't think
that's what you want.

I don't know why I know what you're trying to do... it's
like... I've been there or something.  ;)
