Dear Fellow Users of Ultrix:

We want to configure a DECstation, running Ultrix (4.3a or 4.4), to be
a WEB server, but responding to different hostnames, and serving up different web 
pages to connections made to the different hostnames. 

Of course, 2 easy ways to do this are:
a) Put several ethernet boards in, connect them all, and associate each physical
    interface with a different hostname, and run several httpd's (or whatever), binding
   on each interface. 
b) 1 interface, several httpd's listening on non-standard ports, then one has to
     advertise the non-standard ports, which is a pain.

Both these solutions seem somewhat inelegant, and a) is expensive, and non-scalable.


I've been informed that both Linux and Solaris support virtual interfaces, in which
one can give several IP addresses for a given machine to operate on through 1 fixed physical
interface. Digital Unix seems to support at least 1 alias in the ifconfig flag.

Can one get virtual addressing to work in Ultrix?

Thanks in advance!
