Any ideas or insight are very welcome. Used to do that a lot on FreeBSD. It was just a virtual host.

I don't know if CentOS can do it though. ////jerry > > Thanks > - Trey > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
