>2) CNAME

If the name of your machine is yourmachine.domain.com... you want your
people to be able to browse to www.domain.com... ie: you will need two
names, for the same server.  The *real* name is yourmachine... but your
"CNAME" will be www.  This way, when people look up www.domain.com, they
find a reference to yourmachine.domain.com... which then gives them the
correct IP address.

It is just a way of easily giving one IP two names (or more).  You could
set up www.domain.com, ftp.domain.com, mail-in.domain.com,
mail-out.domain.com... all on the same IP by making each one of the names a
CNAME of the original machine name.

>3) MAX number of sites

There was talk earlier about the "admin" account breaking after about 60 or
so sites.  This is because the raq script can only add so many groups to
one account.  You have to go in manually and add the admin account to the
groups and it is a real pain.  Not sure if Cobalt fixed this or not, but I
am guessing NOT.

Other then performance issues, there shouldn't be any cap limit.
