5.1 I have a server with 5 public IP addresses, so I'm thinking I'll set it up= with one IP for the server (as a host) and the other 4 assigned to 4= jails. The jails are for websites... >From a security standpoint, wouldn't it be better to run four instances of= ftpd (one in each jail), as opposed to one instance on the host server? And from a security standpoint, should I run apache from the host server,= where I can configure mod_security the way I want, or just run individual= apaches inside each jail and let the website owners configure it the way= they want? I like the idea of running things inside the jail, and recognize that if= the webmaster of the site configures it wrong, it's their problem not= mine, but is the jail secure enough to allow them that much access? I have heard of hosting sites selling "virtual dedicated servers" by giving= someone root access to a jail, so I'm thinking jails are fairly secure.= Anyone with experience in this that can give me advice? Thanks, Chris
