I'm looking for an OS to set up a Web server.  I need to set up multiple
domain names to link to web pages without subdirectory path designations,
e.g.:
  http://www.userdomain.com/

NOT:
  http://www.topdomain.com/~user

I heard that on Linux, you couldn't do this...  Something about the version
of "bind" that ran on it.  I heard that on BSDI, you CAN do it the way I
want, but that's too expensive for me right now.

Is it possible on freeBSD?

Email me if you can.  Thanks.
