Yep...I know about that...I constantly post that hint when someone
asks about the viewing.  And...it allows for Front Page publishing prior
to propogation.

Carrie's solution was nice, because you don't have to depend upon the user
making a change.

So, faced with a user who couldn't get the hosts methos to work, I tried
Carries method...and the real rub is the CGI scripts.

Actually, it's better for it to be
xxx.xx.xx.xx TAB www.domain.com

And, the person may be able to view their "old site" by
using the address http://domain.com

Now...if there was an "easy" solution to sendmail prior to
propogation.....
