If "Virtual Domain" - should I use >the "Virtual domain with an address record" or the "Virtual domain >without an address record" setting? For IP multihoming, use the version with an address record. When it asks you for the address of your web server, it also asks if you want it to also create an alias record. Turn that checkbox off. For virtual hosting, use the version without an address record. >Please reply off-line, I will post the final answers. My apologies if I >violated any list rules. No need, this is not a high-traffic list. You certainly haven't violated any list rules. After all, all you've done is ask reasonable questions about the product for which this list was created. :-) ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
