-These tables depict a unique setup. First, the Infonet and WebSmart instances are identically accessible; they both allow access to Web Orders and Infonet. Thus, the 'Web Orders' instance doesn't necessarily just serve Web Orders; you can access Infonet through it, and vice versa. Second, the production and development '''''websites''''' are accessible through the same Apache instance (just have to specify /unipharm or /unidev). This all means that the Web Test instance is not actually used for code-testing that can be done through production instances. It currently sits unused, but is started/stopped everyday by the system (and it's up all day).

 This can all be tidied up in the future, but for now, everything works (security issues aside).

 As per above, the Web Test Apache instance is practically idle/unused. It is also not open to the public. To make it a proper testing instance that is accessible by scripts from the outside, it has been configured as such:
- * External IP (1:1 NAT on the firewall): 207.102.139.110
+ * External IP: 207.102.139.110
  * DNS Hostname: dev.unipharm.com

-There are 3 WebSmart Apache instances on Bart, designated as Web Orders, Infonet, and Web Test. These designations are slightly misleading. To explain why, it is important to emphasize the difference between an Apache instance and a website. An Apache instance is a web server, communicating over an IP and a port (or multiple IPs and/or multiple ports), and serving out the files (web pages) in a directory. A website obviously must involve an Apache instance to serve it, but more specifically, a website describes the folders, libraries, and files that make up the web pages (HTML files, CGI programs etc.).
