1. A multi-homed web server comprising:
- a plurality of virtual hosts accessible using connection requests passed over a computer network, each of the virtual hosts being identified by a corresponding virtual host identifier includable in a connection request;
a plurality of executable modules, each of the modules defining a predetermined function;
a plurality of configuration sub-files corresponding to the virtual hosts, each of the configuration sub-files defining which of the executable module functions are usable by a corresponding one of the virtual hosts;
a processor for executing instructions operable within said multi-homed web server, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor;
receives a request from a client over said public network to view an animation comprising a series a graphics;
send a first graphic to said client;
send a next graphic in said series of graphics at a specified time;
determine whether the specified time to send a subsequent graphic in said series of graphics has passed;
