It can be used to manage, DNS, virtual +hosts for apache config, postfix configuration, cyrus mail boxes, proftpd etc. + + ISPMan was written as a management tool for the network at 4unet where +between 30 to 50 domains are hosted and the number is crazily growing. +Managing these domains and their users was a little time consuming, and needed +an Administrator who knows linux and these daemons fluently. Now the help-desk +can easily manage the domains and users. + + LDAP data can be easily replicated site wide, and mail box server can be +scaled from 1 to n as required. An LDAP entry called maildrop tells the SMTP +server (postfix) where to deliver the mail. The SMTP servers can be +loadbalanced with one of many load balancing techniques. The program is +written with scalibility and High availibility in mind. + + This may not be the right software for you if you want to run a small ISP on +a single box or if you want to use this software as an LDAP editor or a DNS +management software by itself. |
