RE: [OT] Any Apache Gurus ?

["Alex Monaghan" <ha@xxxxxxx>]

Much appreciated, I guessed I could possibly do it with the virtual
host
feature, but was too lasy to read the docs at that time of night :-)

I'll have a look at the setup options. As for MySQL, this port is blocked
by
the firewall so there's only local subnet access to it, just wanted to
check
that there wasn't any obvious security hole via the PHP route (not that
there's anything secure, just don't want some kiddie playing with my toys
!)
