Vunify fetches the selection of files to try and unify (hard-link) for inspecting the package databases. Sam Vilain did a script to unify files based on inspecting them, I believe he was using this for unification of Debian vservers in a commercial setup: http://mirrors.paul.sladen.org/sam.vilain.net/vserver/unify-dirs > 5 plus vserver should run that can be accessed from the inter/intranet.

I don't think these last three points are directly related to vserver. For example if you are paranoid, you are probably doing remote-syslog/serial logging and have append-only log files on disk: http://www.seifried.org/lasg/logging/ > - I would like to update the different vserver separately (and maybe also all at > once?) without stopping any service. That's what `apt-get' is for :-). I think you really need to run the necessary commands run in each vserver and then re-unify them again afterwards to pick-up the updated files introduced in the upgrade. > The main server has to have all the IP-numbers (?) and ONLY these IP-numbers can > be assigned to the versvers? > Can I have two vservers with the smae IP-number but with different URIs > (like: www.server1.lan www.server2.lan on one IP-number: 192.168.0.111)? Computers only deal with IP Addresses (numbers). For hosting multiple websites (different DNS names) on one IP address you will need to turn on Apache's ``NameVirtualHost'' option. Details on how to use/configure the Apache webserver are not related with vserver and can be found on the Apache.org website: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#namevirtualhost > Do I have to build an ipfilter on the main server for this? I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Hope that helps, -Paul -- Nottingham, GB
