Hmmm... how would this change if I wasn't dialing Demon? (ie: I
need the ISP to assign me an IP address, so presumably I'm
using DHCP over the ppp connection to obtain the IP address)

Ta - will try it out.

Have to check mine (once I sorted out the sodding fsck stuff - bit
too hasty in turning it off last night).

I was toying with the idea of shoving the standard stuff into
access.conf and using httpd.conf as the "active" file (add new
virtual sites, change script directories etc) so I didn't have to wade
through acres of stuff that was pretty static. Any idea of the
overriding priority of files? (if the same option as in both files,
which would it take?) Plus: is there any special order of options, or
can I just stick "my important stuff" near the top of the file and
leave the rest lower down?
