So, what I want is "name based" virtual hosting? We currently host our own
web site and are looking at possibly hosting another site (or more) on our
Linux server & soon to be installed ADSL connection. They already have a
domain name (currently hosted elsewhere) and I thought since it's a very low
traffic site, we could host it for him. I get to learn more about Linux, he 
gets
a reliable service and hey, he might even pay me a little for the hosting!
The ADSL line is 512/128 which is plenty fast enough for the intended use.
I gather email should be able to be setup too? eg. sales at newdomain.com.au
Regards...
