AFAIK yes. not sure vnc may be a fix vmware is bad idea. it's slow and memory consuming (much more that virtual machine memory). jails are right solution. or even better - think well if you REALLY need separated servers. in 99% of cases the answer is no. > > - Jails > - Is there any patch working for multiple jail IPs under 5.2.1-p9 ?
