Hi Martin,
Thanks for your detail advice.
I'm running VMWare here. My bitter experience on it is Mail and Web
servers must run on Host for single IP address. All servers running on
VMWare have only single way traffic to Internet, i.e. they can connnect
Internet but Internet can't get into them. I must forward ports 25 and
80 to Guest server. In such arrangement the Host has no communication
ports. Unless I have multiple IP address. They can't share IP
address.
What happen to the Guest on VServer? TIA
B.R.
