Use the NNTP Site property page to configure a virtual news server. Virtual servers are a way of using one computer to host multiple domains. Using one computer and one installation of IIS, you can simulate multiple computers with a different virtual news server site on each computer. For example, an administrator can use one computer running two virtual news servers to host newsgroups for two different departments, each with its own unique domain name and IP address. Because each virtual server has access and administrative permission settings, the departmental sites have the same security options as if they existed on separate computers. You can create as many virtual servers as needed and assign unique identification information and property settings for each one.
