I'd recommend learning how to type using full and complete sentences, with proper spelling and pronunciation. I'd hate trying to read the first paragraph of your resume if that's how you type..

Create a new A record (www) and give it the IP of the webserver, and create a pointer record and it should resolve fine. You might have to force a dns flush on the clients to see f it works right away.

One thing to keep in mind - if you bypass your company's proxy server to gain access to unauthorized websites, you may be violating your company's network/security/Internet access policy, which in some companies is grounds for termination.

Is it worth it to lose your job because you just had to check your Yahoo! mail? No.

If you can't last 8 hours at work without surfing the Net, you have a problem.

They installed WebSense for a reason - to keep people from wasting time at working surfing the Net and being non-productive. Stop spending so much time trying to bypass their filters and get back to work.

Sorry I haven't replied yet, but I did take a look through your conf file, and it appears there's a number of things that are misconfigured, which would explain why you're having trouble with vhosts (multiple domains), among other things...

I would suggest taking a look at the online Apache documentation to get a better understanding on how virtual domain hosting works, which will help you understand how Apache handles it. Rather than just fixing your .conf file to make it "work" like you want, if you don't understand what you're doing, you won't know how to fix/make changes to it when you need to.

Here's the URLs for the docs you need, which should already be included in the "Manual" section included with Apache:

Configuration Sections:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/sections.html

Virtual Host Documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/

Apache 2.0 Root Documentation:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/

In order to get rid of the default RedHat page like you want, you have to reconfigure your httpd.conf without any extras FIRST to make sure the basics work, then move on one step at a time and add features. I highly recommend trashing your existing config file and starting with a fresh copy (# cp httpd.conf.sample httpd.conf) which will contain an alias to the /docs ("Manual") directory.

Also, an error I see a lot is the ServerName variable entry. If you set that as "localhost", you'll have to access it by entering http://localhost as the …

If you find a good company to get your logo done, do me a favor and let me know - I'm looking for a new design myself :)

Well, you just answered that one yourself. He didn't say he was using a onboard nic.

No, he said his mobo had an onboard mac:

my nforce2 mobo uses the embeded nvidia mac, but im not sure which one this is.

I was clarifying for him in case it was a typo.

I will admit, you through me off saying Realtek.

That's why I prefixed the comment with Example: as I always do when giving an example.

For Apache, in httpd.conf, look for this line:

AddEncoding x-gzip gz tgz

It's usually on by default, but if it isn't, you can add/uncomment it within <IfModule mod_mime.c> so it reads like this:

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddEncoding x-compress Z
AddEncoding x-gzip gz tgz

If you don't have that module loaded (mod_mime.c) then it won't do you any good, so check the Modules section to ensire it's being loaded.

What NIC does the mobo have? Once you find that out, you'll be able to find out which module for the NIC you need.
Example:
NIC = Realtek 8139
Module needed: rtl8139.o

To install the module after you've located/identified it, you use either modprobe or insmod
