Re: ADSL/HUB & Apache

You didnt say if the external ip is stactic or not. If its not, then you can
get a dns record entry by using a small free app from www.no-ip.com . This
will report back to the site with your ip so you could have a url such as
anything.servehttp.com. set the router to forward anthing on port 80 to the
machine running apache and by using the vertualhosts setting, you can have
many sites hosted on one machine.

I think it may cause issues if you setup vertualhosts and then try to access
the website internally. if you access it using the external ip, then it
should work ok.

UDP is not required for web access.

Hope this has confused you further ;-)
