Thanks, but that is a solution to the wrong problem.  I have no problem
getting to the server.  The problem is that there are multiple domains at a
single IP address.  Going to that IP address...before the DNS servers point
the NEW domain to that IP will bring up one of the older domains already at
that IP address.
