Re: Multiple web instances assistance and comments

Nathan -

Additional questions:

So each IP address has a "full-range" of ports available to it 1 - 65535?

"> Are these CGI apps?"

The majority (and most mission critical) of the apps are not CGI . . . but
there are 2 CGI apps which are high profile.

Thanks for your help,
