[thelist] web server setup

Because all my own sites are very low traffic, I'm setting up my own web
server. I've already got a home network, and I'd prefer to use the existing
domain controller (Win2K) as the web server ( 'cause I don't have the $$ for
a second machine)

I'm on a DSL line and have 4 static IP addresses I can use (besides the
existing gateway.) My firewall can only forward each protocol to one IP
address, so I can set my external addresses to match internal (unroutable)
addresses one-to-one. And, of course, a domain controller outside a firewall
isna verra good.

Any easy-to-implement solutions that would let me direct each of my four
external/routable addresses to a particular www/ftp location on my server?

And, just in case this is too far afield

To change display or printing fonts in TextPad:
1. Select 'Preferences' from the 'Configure' menu [or 'CTRL-Q', then 'P']
2. Click the + next to 'Document classes'
3. Click the + next to the class you want to change
4. Click 'font'
5. Set the font. Settings can apply to either screen, print, or both

I change the screen fonts for my primary document types to give me instant
visual feedback about the filetype I'm in.
