Maybe this will help: Someone else mentioned that you could have a single NAMED DB file for multiple domains, the problem would be that the IP addresses for the services would all be the same. You didn't mention what server software you are using, but I am assuming you are using APACHE 1.3.4 or later with Virtual Webhosting setup. The only way to use the same DNS Entries is to shift your IP based configuration to a NAME BASED Virtual Hosting configuration in Apache. If you are using FTP, this may also be a challenge depending on which FTPD you are using. We use PROFTPD because it is similar in configuartion and features to APACHE. I use IP based on my server, but I believe that NAMED-BASED may be what you want to look into if you are concerned about IP Address allocation. You might also want to consider using QMAIL if you arent already. The packages are located in the ports directory: Apache Daemon: /usr/ports/www/apache-modssl http://www.apache.org ProFTP Daemon: /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd http://www.proftpd.org Qmail Daemon: /usr/ports/mail/qmail http://www.qmail.org - Chris Tusa webmaster@oswars.net Odhiambo Washington writes: > Hi > I was beginning to think that there is an easier way of managing hosted domains than > we're doing now.
