Re: [SLUG] Virtual hosts on a dynamic IP

[Paul Robinson <Paul.Robinson@nospam.mq.edu.au>]

Um yeah I want the sites to be visible to the world, which is my problem, 
otherwise I'd just use the ip addr..

Call me a pesimist but when apache say u need a NamevirutalHost ip with an 
ip taht your name resolves to it doesn't leave me with much hope.

but I do hope :)

I remember from a discussion ages ago that you could just write a lil 
executable which modifies httpd.conf and restarts the process..

is this viable / safe? (probably not safe at least)
