Hi Dante,

Wouldn't it be much easier to use reseller packages like DirectAdmin
or cPanel? AFAIK it should be pretty easy to do the things above.

I'm considering that as well. In the end, I really only want 3 features, however:

 - ftp access to files
 - mysql database
 - apache/php support

Look at DirectAdmin features:
http://www.directadmin.com/features.html

Looks like 80-90% of that is not needed. I want to manage my users through Active Directory, and just enable or disable the 3 services I listed above.

I recently tested ISP Manager. Their trial license couldn't even be installed without a public IP address! I don't want to get into these games. Just some simple, clean, open source solutions, please :-)

Also, I intend to make this solution scalable. I have 2 HA load balancers that will distribute the web load across multiple web servers. Licensing starts to get expensive when you begin to think clusters or clouds. I want to scale without additional licensing costs.

I'll install DirectAdmin and cPanel now that you recommend them, however, to make sure I don't actually want them :-)
