[Zope-dev] Mapping multiple IP addresses/domains to one Zope

[Aaron Gillette]

Sorry, but I don't think I phrased my original question very well. I'll give
it another try.

What I'm trying to do is have Zope somehow map an IP address to a specific
subfolder within the ZODB. For example, I've got one subfolder that should
serve DOMAIN1.COM which is located at the IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.1, a second
subfolder should serve DOMAIN2.COM which is located at the IP address
XXX.XXX.XXX.2, etc... How can this be accomplished?

If there is a way to do it behind IIS, that'd be great.

SiteAccess could then take care of the conversion of the root domain name (I
think).

I hope I've cleared things up a bit.

Thanks,

Aaron Gillette

Is this server accessible to untrusted users? If yes, then go for IIS.
ZServer on its own isnt sufficiently bullet-proof.

Yes, its safe to copy zope databases between platforms, and zope
itself is very platform-neutral.

Search on www.zope.org for SiteAccess.
