FWIW
Here is an Ipix and Live Picture Implimentations of Images being pulled from
different SERVERS than the applet. In the high volume end of the real estate
Vtour market, this is actually an important consideration. A large
Realtor(now iPix) has agreed to switch but has required this ability. They
insist that the html reside on their server but not the image content...go
figure...

The LP implimentation was due to the fact that my company is still
officially LPbased. (a temporary solution until we switch to PTJV..... )



The Ipix code has been in use for some time at many locations. The LP code
(written this morn) is currently being tested. It seems to work fine in
Netscape 4.7 and IE 5.0.  We will test it in IE 4.x and Netscape 3.x as well
as Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Macintosh.

I will follow up with those results.
