Hi all, I have been getting a lot of requests from customers for virtual
hosting, I am running IIS 4.0 on NT 4.0 and am wondering if I have my ideas
are strait, I figured this is how it goes:

1- we are www.xyz.com and our class c is 123.456.789.0
2- our customer has their own domain name of ourcustomer.com
3- so I would assign an additional IP to my NIC in my webserver of
123.456.789.169 (Previously unused)
4- then I would open my DNS and add a subdomain of ourcustomer.com to
xyz.com
5- add an a record of www for 123.456.789.169 in the ourcustomer.com
subdomain
6- create a virtual server in IIS and bind it to IP 123.456.789.169
and thats it?

thanks for any advice......
