Hello Bill,
Just something I wondered, regarding the "template hostnames", or
"default records" for domains..
I mentionend in the past the abbility to be abble to define different
templates and let the site admin choose what template to apply asn
default to a domain.
Another (simple?) abbility would maybe be to let the group-owner (or
even the domain-owner ?) the abbility to add some
admin/group-owner-defined templates available for the domain.........
Exemple for some random domain.ext :
1st template let's call it "round robin web":
A DOMAIN 10.0.0.10
A DOMAIN 10.0.0.11
CNAME www.DOMAIN DOMAIN
2nd template, let's call it "round robin pop3 and smtp":
A pop3.DOMAIN 10.0.0.20
CNAME smtp.DOMAIN pop3.DOMAIN
3rd template, let's call it "round robin imap and smtp":
A imap.DOMAIN 10.0.0.22
CNAME smtp.DOMAIN imap.DOMAIN
4th template, let's call it "client X dedicated server all"
A DOMAIN 10.0.0.30
CNAME www.DOMAIN DOMAIN
CNAME pop3.DOMAIN DOMAIN
CNAME smtp.DOMAIN DOMAIN
The user/group/admin user could select to user template 1 & 3 based on
the services providen for that domain..
I'm sure you can figure the comination uses for such system..
Also note that some template cannot co-exist, the user cannot select 4th
& 1st, 2nd or 3rd templates..
Hope the thought worths something...
Take care.
