    Is it possible to use Windows Home Server as a local DNS caching server AND as a HTTP server for intranet use...?

    I want to use it so I can use domains such as router.foo to point to the router, and laptop.foo to point to the laptop, as well as the backup features and what not that it offers

    Also, I havnt really used IIS before (apache for me razz ), but can I be running multiple sites on it, and access them using different domains, such as site1.foo and site2.foo, all hosted on the one Windows Home Server machine.

    I know I could use linux and BIND, but I was to do this the MS way this time...

    I think it should be possible being based on Server 03, but im not quite sure...

    I have never used Home Server so I don't know. It is possible on Small Business Server 2003 and on Server 2003 Standard, so if Home Server is based on that and they haven't cut out any of the needed features, it should work.

    Having said that, if I wanted to do this I would almost certainly do it with Linux.
