Now scale that to any number > of instances. Apache is easy. It's out-of-the-box on Debian, and one of the things that Tuttle manages superbly. (The Debian method is se set up so that /etc/apache2-NAME is a completely different copy of apache, and will be controlled by apache2ctl-NAME, handle its own config in /etc/apache2-NAME, and so forth. The only thing left to sysadmin whim is making sure that they Listen on different IP/port combos. ... actually, now I'm trying to think of a service that isn't manageable that way. BIND, if you insist on using rndc. And ntpd needs careful attention to make sure they don't all try to manage the system clock. But lots of services are designed to do that sort of hotel service well, especially if you have a separate IP available for every instance. -dsr- -dsr-
