Re: "Virtual" web servers (was Re: IP Allocation)

        For an example of HTTP/1.1, you can go to http://puck.nether.net/
and http://www.ttgcitn.com/ as examples.  They are both on the same machine.

        There are many virtual hosts there that are done with http/1.1,
and only one that is done with an extra IP.
