[FX.php List] GET vs. POST in a web app

[Bob Patin]

Erik,

I think you're on to something, but I'm not sure I grasp it yet:

right now, in the admin console, WPE connects to an IP, but it could  
just have easily been the server's subdomain, which I've already got  
set up.

So what I would do is go into server_data.php and change that IP to  
point to the NEW WPE, and start using it immediately. However, I'd  
still have to kill the existing WPE before the new one will connect.

Am I missing something here? Let me know; I'm not sure what you're  
suggesting when you say that WPE goes to just one DNS record. But I'm  
listening! :)

Thanks,

Bob
