[cobalt-users] A few questions!

Hi,
Various questions regarding the RAQ3. I'd class myself as a
newbie, so if these questions are a bit stupid please excuse
me.

1. As you will know there is a limit of 225 sites per IP
   base, IE max 225 sites on one IP. In reality however how
   many sites do you suggest there should be on a RAQ3 with
   the following spec: 64MB RAM, 10GB HDD (with RAID). I'd
   like to host around 100 sites (domains) on the RAQ, so
   would I need more RAM or would 64MB be sufficent?

2. I'd like to offer a personal DNS service to customers.
   E.g.- ns.domain.com. Is this possible through the RAQ
   control panel (I suspect not) or is possible to do it
   in Apache. I have no experience of Linux or Apache. Plus,
   is anything required to be done on the domain registrar
   side. E.g.- Network Solutions.

3. It is also my understanding that bandwidth can only be
   monitored seperately per IP. Is there a way around this?

4. On the email side I will have to relay email from many
   different ISP's, so is there an easy way to do this
   without being subceptable to spamming? I know that
   accepting all email from .com etc. is not recommended,
   but is it possible?

5. Can the personal control panel be customised with my own
   colour scheme, logo etc? Can the default page for new
   virtual sites be customised?

6. Are there any good graphical statistics programs
   available? My understanding is that the RAQ doesn't
   keep seperate log files, so is there a way round this?

Thanks for your help. I'm on a VERY steep learning curve at
the moment and I appreciate this resource.
