Re: Multiple web instances assistance and comments

Jeff -

I can see that we will have DNS issues but since we don't control our DNS
(this is an Intranet application), they should be small (just a few entries
for the new IP addresses), shouldn't they?  And no firewall, subnet, or
routing issues?  What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Steve
