Re-2: On-Rev subdomain (main domain hosted elsewhere)

[Joe F.]

This is very interesting discussion to me and I'm sure it will be  
something that comes up for a lot of other on-rev users.
So, if possible, I hope one of you can follow up with a report on  
which method is better/easier, or has any problems in actual use.

I haven't toyed with it on on-rev yet, but I know that other ISPs  
limit remote access to things like MySQL based on IP addresses.
This kind of thing would be a problem for running a separate secure on- 
rev subdomain for transactions from another server, so if there's a  
definitive way to do it I think it might be useful to get the Rev folk  
to publish it to the website.

Thanks,
Joe F.
