>Yes, you can do this with only 1 IP address. We are actually doing this ourselves, instead of assigning an IP address to each site, specially low (i.e. VERY low) bandwidth sites.

>To do this, in your DNS, simply create the A record to point to the IP address you want to use (always the same one for each site). The special thing that must be done is in IIS itself. You create the web, as you normally would, and specify the IP address as usual (the one you want to use). Before starting this site in IIS thought, right-click on it, select properties and click on the "Advanced" button to the right of the IP address of the site. In this window, Type the full DNS name of the site (i.e. www.thisismyweb.com) in the "Host Header Name" field. OK your way out of the property page and start the site.

The only thing is, if people try to access the site through it's IP address, they will get the site that does not have a host header name entry (the default site for the IP).

Thanks Hugo,

I had a hunch that this might be the solution. I have so far managed to avoid using HostHeaders, but i'll have to delve in now. Don't I remember something about HostHeader usage only working with newer browsers?, Or is it OK with all browsers?
