  <LI>You'll need linux kernel <STRONG>1.2.x</STRONG> ( &gt;=5 recommended) and compile with the following options:
  <PRE>
	  CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
	  CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
	  # CONFIG_DUMMY is not set          ( say no when configuring )</PRE>
<BR><BR></LI>

  <LI>make dep ; make zImage ; make modules ; make modules_install<BR><BR></LI>

  <LI>cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /vmlinuz<BR><BR></LI>

  <LI>rdev -R /vmlinuz 1  ; lilo<BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>reboot system <BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>insmod -o dummy0 /lib/modules/1.2.x/net/dummy.o<BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>ifconfig dummy0 200.200.200.50 up<BR>
   NOTE: Make sure the IP address you choice is a valid one,
   and not being used.
  <BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>arp -s &lt;ethernet address&gt; 200.200.200.50 netmask 255.255.255.255 pub<BR>
  NOTE: the ethernet address of your ethernet card can be found if you
  type ifconfig eth0.  First line, there are 6 hex numbers sepearted by 
  ':'.  Use that.
  <BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>route add 200.200.200.50 dummy0<BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>Add &lt;virtual host 200.200.200.50&gt; ..... &lt; /virtualhost&gt; to your httpd.conf file.<BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>Add 200.200.200.50 to your /etc/hosts or DNS database files.<BR><BR></LI>
  <LI>Repeat from <STRONG>Step 1.</STRONG> with dummy1 if so desired.<BR><BR></LI>
