If so, is that acceptable under the license agreement?Somebody correct me if I am off base, but what you have to do via file sharing is link back to folders in the WebCatalog folder on the unsecure mac from the secure mac, that is the part that bugs me about doing this. If one server goes away the other gets a pop-up alert saying the share connection went away. And depending on which machine shares to which, one could be sitting there asking for somebody to click an OK button and that server then locks up I think waiting for the ok to be clicked.> >This will determine how to apply for a Digital ID from a CA, since they >require a fully qualified domain name.

Or have your ISP do it for you. Home door and the like are used for when you want to use www.abc.com and xyz.com on the same server. IE: Vanity names. secure.abc.com is still within your domain. Where xyz.com is not. Now how all the works with a digital ID, I do not know. Not that far along yet in what I am doing. But it would seem to me that secure.abc.com is still within your fully qualified domain name. But because these 2 machines would have different IP addresses that is the part that somebody else more qualified will have to tell me and you both if this will work with digital ID. =============================================== Gary Richter, President PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com ===============================================
