I want to see if it is possible to give a lot of people there own (virtual)
website. Because these sites would not be very big I thought of aliassing
all the adresses to one NIC. I would be able to hand out the names
p1.domain.nl, p2.domain.nl, p3.domain.nl,... etc.

I was wondering if in this way it would be possible to create maybe 1000+
domains on one machine. This of course would only be possible if I can
define this 1000+ aliasses on one NIC. Or am I looking for a solution in
the wrong direction?
