[geeks] Virtual Hosting, with a twist

[William Kirkland]

yes, not so much of a twist as you think ... look at the "jail" sub- 
system for FreeBSD ... it is specifically designed for that  
particular configuration and works well providing a virtual unix  
node. I have seen a 2G system handle more than 100 small sites while  
allowing full configuration control to each of their independent  
customers. This allows an ISP to provide email, dns, http, and the  
full range of services, and allows the customers to manage the  
configuration of those services.

I suspect that there are similar instances where MS is the platform  
provided.

I provided a less resource intensive configuration allowing the  
virtual nodes to share their executables with links, to one such  
provider. He choose not to use it because he could not charge his  
customers for the disk space of the OS to each customer.

*IF* you are interested, I'll re-build a server and create  
documentation.
