Subject:   Best tactics/practices for building Cobalt-like server functionality?

Folks, looking for some groupthink/wisdom here...

I'd like to emulate the functionality of Cobalt's Raq server for
light-level virtual domain hosting. The emphasis has to be on ease of
use for those whose domains are parked on the box.

Has anyone cobbled together something similar to what cobalt does with
their most recent OS? (example: http://demo.cobalt.com/demoraq.html) I
could do much of this with Webmin, but I'm looking for something even
more idiot-proof and slicker. (Yeah, I know... all you config-file
wizards can start groaning now!)

Bonus points for anyone with a link to a recipe or HOWTO file.

Another option: I grabbed what I believe are all of the perl files used
for imanager, the control-panel that Verio uses. As I've mentioned in
other posts, I can't find ANY copyright or license info in any of the
files, so I'm looking at adapting that. However, it's all perl, and I'm
not quite a perl monger yet. :)

Completely open on choice of MTA, DNS and other structural elements. In
the past, I focused on those ("oh, I have to run qmail!") and tried to
work the GUI/admin elements out around that. That approach didn't work,
so now I'm trying something new.

Many thanks in advance,
Greg
