First, if I ping the alias : domain from the host machine I get dup pings and secondly I can't traceroute : to the domain from anywhere on the net. Is this normal behaviour or do I need : something else? Apache seems to work fine but the dup pings and the inability : to traceroute seems a little "rough" at the edges. Mine work fine but aren't traceroutable for some reason. Anyone got any ideas about this ? Thanks, Andrew -- Andrew Foster adf@fl.net.au
