 	DNS, yes, the user would have to point his DNS to the correct IP. 
I realized the other day that for the apache config, if I assigned a 
separate ip for the lifetype install, I wouldn't have to have any virtual 
host entries, so could avoid this part of the configuration.  But, of 
course, you don't have to use it like that.

 	I don't understand.  Each blog only has one domain, and if a 
second user tries to use the same domain as the first guy, lifetype 
wouldn't let him.  (Maybe you are thinking of the wildcard discussion, and 
I am not going to do that, I agree with Reto(?) who said that is better 
handled by modrewrite).

 	BTW, I noticed last night that the blog settings are not available 
to non-blog-owners, so it is only the blog owner who has access to this 
feature.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible,
you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.
