1. I'm not so sure you should be running a production web server using
Win98. If you must use Windows, why not Win2K?
2. Perhaps you really mean to connect the 3 branches via an intranet, rather
than the internet? In which case, you SHOULD be using NT/Win2K AS and use
LMHOSTS to do the resolution.
3. Perhaps you should ask your networking people to do this - unless you ARE
the networking person???
4. How is this PHP related?

Subject: Re: [PHP-WIN] DNS/WEB SERVER WITH APACHE/PHP/WIN98
You don't need the DNS Unless you want to pay for the www.abc.com.my domain.
All your remote offices need to do to connect to the server is type in the
IP of the server. The remote boxes will be directed into the web root
directory. Give it a try, you already have what you want. The only plus to a
domain name instead of an IP is remeberability. Since your are setting up
the remote boxes (I assume) all you need to do is bookmark your server and
teach the end users how to access the bookmark.
