We put that in=20 the user manual because the very first method for=20 serving multiple websites from the same IP=20 address, HomeDoor (from Open Door Networks), used=20 this in their documentation. We didn't want to=20 confuse customers. Essentially, this predates HTTP 1.1. Again, avoid CNAME records whenever possible=20 (which is almost always), and use A records=20 instead. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 3:04 PM +0200 7/31/03, Lasse T=F6rngren wrote: >Hi! > >I am using QuickDNS 2.2 on a Mac with Mac OS 9.0.4.
