I would like to host multiple websites from a single public IP address. My problem is that the only way that i can think of doing this is by using different ports. Well that just looks tacky in an adress bar when you have www.lala.org:81.
I'm assuming that I am going to have to do some kind of name forwarding thing. Does anyone know how to host two websites from a single public ip address?
[edit]
I am using two different local ip address.

Total Posts: 714 | Yes i am using apache and I have already set up Virtual Hosts. I can easily type in the local address (ex: 192.168.2.234) into FF and both sites work just as they should. The problem is that I only have one public IP address that I receive from my ISP. I could set up virtual servers on my router and each site uses a different port, but when you think about it http://bla.com:81 isn't the most popular choice.

Total Posts: 714 | ok, I understand it now. I use a name base rather then an IP based virtual Host. It all makes since now.
Thanks B
