Interesting, maybe I should have another try.

On my machine at home I have mirror images of the 5 sites I administer, 2 sites
don't support
cgi (but are used to store ~30M of images for another site) and another site is
trivial but the
other two are script heavy, and better offline testing would be desirable.  Is
it possible to
configure it for scripts to operate anywhere?  Neither site uses a cgi-bin, one
site has scripts
in only 3 or 4 directories, but the other site has them in dozens.

Each "Site" has its own directory on the machine, one at the top level, the
others one level down,
inter "Site" links are direct on the machine, but get mapped to the real full
links when copied to
the servers.

I use Ant's internet suite and normally connect through ISDN, though I will soon
have a LAN
connection to one or two of my other machines as well.
