Can anyone help me get a favicon to work on a Mac OSX Webserver so that all the browsers that look for one will display it?

1. I made a .ico file with IconBuilder
2. Placed it in the /library/webserver/ directory

from what i've read this should work....

I don't want to hardcode the following line in all my main pages:

<link REL="shortcut icon" HREF="favicon.gif" TYPE="image/x-icon">

...because i have a bunch of different things running on the server and i want all accessed pages to get the icon.

Do i have to have a /favicons/ directory or is there some other setting to get this to work on OS x's Apache server.

BTW -- When I hardcode the link above and direct it to a .gif version of the icon it works -- i just dont want to do it this way .

Has anyone gotten it to work???
Maybe my .ico file is not correct??

I'm referring to rhis post:

Put it in /Library/WebServer/Documents and it should work.

I've never tried it on a Mac OS X server but on all my Apache servers I just make a Windoze icon file using Graphic Converter, save it with the name "favicon.ico" and upload it into the same directory as the html page that I want it to display on. I don't do anything to the html page at all.
