Jerry, folks, thanks,
Will check into alt.apache.configuration and apologies about lahdedah,
didn't know about example.com.
But I wasn't emphatic enough .. yes I would know their IP addresses so
CAN I hard code them in my index.php? Yes or no would do and a PHP
buzzword I might search on to get started .. I just prefer all my code
in one place.
... am definitely not interested in extra keying of passwords by my two
associates.
Thanks,
Graham
