Date: Wed, 05 Jul 95 15:37:47 GMT Organization: Enterprise PLC Lines: 13 Message-ID: <3tefhh$hus@news.enterprise.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: starship.enterprise.net X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 We will be using "ifconfig alias" in order to map multiple IP addresses to a single ethernet card in order to be able to operate multiple "virtual web servers" on a single BSDI 2.0 machine with a Netscape Server 1.1. Are there any limitations - practical, actual or theoretical to the number of individual IP addresses that can be mapped to a single NIC for this purpose, and therefore the number of "virtual servers" that can be supported on a single BSDI 2.0 platform? The hardware is Pentium 100 with 64MB RAM. ___________________________________ Adrian Cooper | apc@enterprise.net Enterprise PLC | http://www.enterprise.net Leading Internet Services in the British Isles.
