Now *this* seems like a compelling use for user-mode Linux. In this way 
we could host "www.ydl-faq.org" and "clint.ydl-faq.org" on the same 
machine, without the chance that "clint" could screw up the 
underpinnings. Sweet. It sounds as if it would be heavily 
resource-intensive, but there are probably ways to share virtual memory 
spaces, and so on.

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Clint
