Hi All

I am wondering if it is possible to do the following on linux (1.2.8+)...
	- Setup to domain names: a.org.au and b.com.au on the SAME machine.
	- Allow machine a.org.au and blah.b.com.au to have the SAME IP.
	  OR, allow machine a.org.au to have IP a.a.a.a and 
	            machine blah.b.com.au to have IP b.b.b.b but, both 
	            refer to the same machine (using dummy interfaces ?!?)

The machine I wish to set this up on is connected to the 'net via SLIP, 
there is an Ethernet card - but it isn't used.

	This is not a Linux issue. This is a DNS issue. You certainly can.

	That is also a DNS issue. Yes, you can.

	This is a linux issue. You can easily map several IP addresses to 
the same machine.

	Make sure you obtain the additional IPs from your provider and 
that they will route them for you. Otherwise, it won't work.
