Problem is i am not using bind or apache. My box runs Win2k Adv Server so i
am using their dns server and http server, and i am having trouble finding
referances for my specific question. Unfortunatly Ive learned to program
webpages using ASP so switching to another server or OS is not an option (as
far as i know).
