Web Site with Frames

We are in the process of creating a Web site for our public library, and 
would like to use Netscape 2.0 latest HTML addition, Framesets.  I have a 
few questions regarding Frames that I haven't been able to find in 
Netscape's documentation. 

1.  I know how to target a document to a frame using the <a href = 
"nameofdocument" target= "desiredframe">.  Does the document itself also 
need a tag(s) indicating what frame it is supposed to target (or is it 
unnceccesary for one document may be targeted for different frames)?

2.  I was planning on creating a mirror site for our non-frame pages, as 
this seems the only way to keep the two seperate.  Are there alternative 
methods to having two parallel sites going at once (and thereby avoiding the 
extra work)?  What is the best way to seperate the two sites (on a UNIX 
server)?  Do I need to rename the documents, or is simply creating seperate 
directories sufficient?

Others' experiences in these matters would be appreciated, as would URL's 
with documentation. Please respond directly to me to avoid ListServe 
clutter.  My apologies if this topic has been hashed out already.

Thank you.
