Re: port mapping and cl-http question

Hi Paul,

1. Why not get a dynamic domain address from, for example, http:// 
www.dyndns.com/ ?

2. See the functions add-virtual-host-nick-name or add-virtual-host.

3. If you run your server on the loopback address, then you server  
will work without reconfiguration no matter where your laptop might be!

4. Sign up to beta test the new and vastly improved cl-http beta.

Regards, John
