good afternoon, can someone please tell me if i can get "3w.xxx.eu" and "3w.yyy.pt" to live in the same server?
what i am trying to do is to have a web server were "3w.org.eu", goes to the school page and "3w.project.pt" to the a special project page.
i am planning on using slackware + apache + Mambo.

thanks!

sure, you set up virtual hosting in the apache config file (usually http.conf)
most distros have an example commented out close to the bottom of the config file.
You would typically have seperate folders for each site you desire to host.
i am hosting 3 .coms and 2 .orgs for friends from my house.
If you have problems, let us know

Thanks for answering.
I will look in to it right now.
Do you have any special advices on security for this kind of setup?

not that i can think of off hand, i believe the way apache handles things under name based virtual hosting, is that it sees which domain is being requested and points to that folder (defined in http.conf) so i wouldn't think any more security would be required than what precautions would normally be taken for a web server.
