WEB SERVERS
Web Site documents contain Web site configuration information and are managed through the Servers\Internet Sites view along with other types of Internet site documents. However, for backward compatibility the Domino HTTP task still supports the R5 Servers\Web Configurations view. For information about using Web Configurations, see the topic
To enable the Internet Sites view, in the Basics section of the Server document, click "Loads Internet configurations from Server\Internet Sites documents."
For more information, see the topic Converting from Web Server Configuration to Internet Sites view.
Hosting Web sites with Web Site documents
Web sites are not explicitly associated with physical servers. A single Domino domain can support many Web sites. Each Web site can be associated with any number of host names or addresses. All servers in the same Domino domain can use the same Web Site documents in the Internet Sites view. You can specify which Domino servers support a Web site. Each Web site has its own security, file-protection, and URL rules, and you can modify them as needed.
By default, Web Site documents are not associated with specific Domino servers. All servers that share the same Domino Directory -- that is, reside in the same Domino domain -- automatically use the same Web Site documents in the Internet Sites view. This means that you do not have to re-create the same Web configuration each time you add a new server to the domain. When you add or modify a Web Site document, the changes are picked up automatically by all servers in the domain.
An optional field in the Web Site document allows you to specify the Domino servers that will host a site. Servers that are not listed in this field will not load the site configuration.
