Nick, are we going to start THAT thread again?
I'll just say this and crawl back in the woodwork: I have a domain name,
fluent-access.com. That domain name has an entry for
www.fluent-access.com. That A record can contain only one thing: an IP
address.
Now, when I use a Web server that is also hosting a couple hundred other
domain's site, there is no way in the DNS to indicate that.
Alternatively, when I decide to bring www.fluent-access.com in-house, all I
need to do is have that A record repointed to an inside IP address (I have
five at the moment).
There's more to "virtual hosting" than just consumption of an IP address.
