Virtual domain/registration

[Thunderstone]

Howdy,
Just downloaded webinator to evaluate for use with a client's
web site. A limitation on the registration form gave me
a scare however. Here's my situation:

1) I run SunOS 4.1.3 with multiple virtual domains for clients.
The machine is really ezweb.com, but the client I'm investigating
for is www.watersinfo.com.

2) The registration form wouldn't let me specify the two above
names -- it complained that they have to be the same domain name.
I tried just an IP address for the web server, but it didn't like
that either. Maybe 2 IP addresses would have been OK? I didn't
try that one.

3) I ended up specifying www.ezweb.com as the Web Server -- and
it let me download the software.

Question: am I going to now have problems if I attempt to use
it via a virtual-domained web server? Should I re-register
with IP addresses if there is a problem?

Also: I have other virtual domains that this may be useful:
Are there any limitations in using webinator on one machine to
support multiple indices -- 1 for each virtual host?

TIA,

[...some snipping...]

Officially, you should register one time for each webserver you
intend to run the Webinator on.

The licence registration program was designed by an ex-nazi
accountant who's pants were 3 sizes too small. Since no one ever
actually qualified under that code, we relaxed the licence server's
and registration DB's rules, and now you should be able to download and
run the program on any machine that can talk to our licence server .

The main reason we even have the licence server is because of the
potential for abusive behavior on the part of a gw user. We'll never
revoke a licence unless we get legitimate complaints from a Webmaster
who's had his site crippled by a Webinator.


As I mentioned in a prior article, the only problem you may encounter
with "virtual domains" is if they cross reference each other
and reside at the same IP address. In this case the webinator
sees them all as one "Web site".
