Subject: [850] Multiple ftp sites and only one real machine/server???

Hi all

I need to set up my machine so it takes ftp connections TO different sites.

for example:

% ftp ftp.foo.bar      (goes to sys.foo.bar)
% ftp ftp.bar.com      (goes to sys.foo.bar)
% ftp ftp.foo.net      (goes to sys.foo.bar)
% ftp ftp.foobarr.edu  (goes to sys.foo.bar)

To make it more complicated I'd like all the different system names to
also have thier own different root directories. 

Is this possible? If so whats the trick?

Any help would be appreciated

eric

I don't think that this is possible with having multiple dns names
and having one machine with the login being anonymous on that machine.
You could make it work if you had different logins like:

login foo_anon --> /foo/bar .  The logins are the only thing that
matter here.  The dns names are only relavent to the human.  In fact,
most ftp clients display the "real" name of the machine when the dns record
is a C record, tho' they will display the dns name if one uses an A record.

Hope this helps,
