Re: [WEB400] Advantages of Apache

["Peter Dow" <maillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Evan,

How about some concrete examples?  I know as an Earthlink user I can have a
website like http://home.earthlink.net/~pdow, which seems like it would be
fairly simple to set up in the classic server; but it sounds like you're
saying Apache could be set up to dynamically allow http://pdow.earthlink.net
with no change to the configuration.  Am I close?
