Hi Lyle,
Tried this, came back with the same IP address for both pings.

I checked the conf files in these locations, and they point to document 
root directories that do not contain the website, even when I do a list 
showing all hidden files (ls -a)

I know, this is what is driving me crazy! When I do "find / -name" at the 
command line, I get one directory that I am not allowed access to, even as 
root:  /proc/5/fd, I assume this is related to the OS, but is it possible 
that something is hidden in there?

Only fishy thing is a file called ".index.html.swp" in the 
"/home/httpd/html" directory, which I can't make sense out of.

Can directories be hidden from the command "ls -a"?

Thanks for your ideas,
Cheers
