IP Space

[AveHost.com Staff]

You did not read my follow-up, as I stated previously, I pulled those
numbers right from Dell, so take it up with them please.  Another thing to
note is, any policy that affects the implementation or utility of a web
server as popular as IIS negatively, or for that matter, any web server
system, whether purposefully targeting it or not, is not a flexible enough
policy to be implemented, period.  Let's keep our focus here, this is what
we are talking about, forget semantics, what is important is that enough
information is gathered from the Internet community at large to determine
how a particular policy will affect that community taking into account the
environment at large.  You can't make a policy based on the assumption that
all web servers running Red Hat can manage with the new policy and forget
that there are NT, Win2k, etc other servers out there also.  Therefore, the
policy must be broad enough and flexible enough to account for these
variations in the environment of the public Internet.

Since the policy of restricting IP's for hosting has been suspended, I think
their is, thank goodness, some realization that the alternative solutions
and work-arounds for IP-based SSL, etc are not as clear-cut and broadly
applicable as once thought, as there are some of us that think Unix is a
FOUR LETTER word.

Yes, I am.  They ARE vendor specific.  I question the validity of the
numbers you indicate.   Even IF they were accurate, MicroSoft is STILL a
vendor.  Sometime policies have to be firm.  JUst because a company the size
of MicroSoft sells a LOT of widgets, doesn't mean we should change the rules
to make the implementation of the MicroSoft widget easier.

I think any policy that affects the operation of IIS, in any version, is
hardly "vendor specific" as many, many servers on the public Internet are
running IIS, in fact, 47% of the secure sites and 52% of the largest retail
sites on the Internet are running on Microsoft Windows®.   Are you going to
tell me those are "vendor specific" numbers?

I think it is erroneous to hold policies to vendor-specific limitations.
Protocol support should be the primary focus for policy.

Susan:

I mean no disrespect but that is not current possible in IIS 4 or IIS 5.o.
There is no way to make an instance of a site in IIS 4 or 5 use SSL with the
same IP, IIS blocks it with an error message.  Thus, it DOES hold lots of
water!

Ah, but that argument doesn't hold much water. From what my enterprise-level
clients tell me, SSL can be configured just fine to handle multiple sites on
a
single IP. I have several that do this with great results. It is much easier
to
handle and manage too, just like host-header vs. virtual IP.
