Hmm... this falls right along these lines so rather than post something new thought i'd post here. I'm looking to do the same thing, except, the variable in my case is going to be the port. I have issues with port 80, occasionally, but I HATE having an address with that ugly :64000 on the end of it. On my internet backup (
http://www.xanga.com/zaimor ) in the top right, you see links to port 80 and port 64000. What I want to do is keep -Both- port 80 and 64000 open and running the webserver, so that when port 80 has issues, I dont have to manually change abyss to port 64000... both ports will always be available so the user can just click the most convinent one. Any suggestions?
In my router I have 80 going to this IP, 9999 going to this IP for the console of the port 80 server, and then I have 64000-64001 for the port/console of the alternate. At the moment,
http://be.mine.nu:64000 is up.
http://be.mine.nu is what I want to use as well.
