Re: OWS/OAS w/Multiple IP's/Hosts

What you are attempting to do I believe is called virtual hosting. You can't assign more than one process to a single port at one time. port allocation is exclusive.

to work around this you either have to have some software that will interpret the http head (ie the value of the http url that is submitted to port 80 and redirect it to the appropriate web server/process accordingly) or you can have an intelligent router out front of yor three boxes that does the same masking as the software solution.
