*sigh* here we go again.
Yes, that is correct, however this would be people in the same
location - a hotel, or a house. Me and California and you in Texas
wouldn't have the same IP, however if I were in a hotel, I may have
the same IP as another person in the hotel.

No, the IP does not identify the SERVER, bullis.It identifies the
USER.

Bullshit. The odds of that are probably a billion to 1.

Some? Try everyone. If you had any credibility here bullis, you just
lost it.

I've explained all of this to you a dozen times. You're either a
troll, or you're just too dumb to understand.
Let's go to fantasy land here for a minute, and pretend you have a
wife and kid. I call your house. How can I call one number, and speak
with either you, your wife, or your kid? Easily. The same way a
webhost can have multiple domains. They're all on the same physical
machine. a HTTP request contains the website the requestor is asking
for.
Perhaps it's best you stay out of a group discussing something as
advanced as PHP, and go to a group discussing... oh, I don't know,
shiny things?
