Hi,

Your post does not make a lot of sense.

Can you please post:
a) each website that you have defined in IIS
b) undernearth each website, the website identities that you have configured
for each website
c) what your ultimate question/problem is?

For more information on how host-headers, and web site identities work, get
the sample chapter from my IIS book (there's a link on my homepage:
www.adopenstatic.com). There's a section in that chapter that deals with
host headers and website identities, and how IIS works out which site will
answer an incoming request.

HTH

Cheers
Ken
