Attn: all geniuses (or should that be genii?
whatever..)
I've got a couple of RaQ3s with about 200 customers
on each - these customers have their own domain names, and the RaQ is used as
dns server, mail server and web server.
Most of these customers are simple email and web
forwarding accounts, but at present I'm doing this forwarding by setting up a
virtual site for each customer, and doing email forwarding the normal way
(creating a user, appending to the aliases file) and web forwarding by dropping
in an index.html file that redirects to the web page of their
choice.
Obviously this is a sh*t way of doing things
because I have to set up a virtual site and user for each forwarding account,
and I know there's a limit of about 200 customers on a RaQ3
I know there's a way of doing email and web
forwarding without having to set up a virtual site and user - but how? I can't
set up simple dns records for the web forwarding since they invariably point at
free web space accounts and hence no unique IP address...and I haven't got a
clue about the email forwarding.
Anyway I hope you experts have got a workaround for
a young, dumb British guy????? :-) Take care fellas (and lasses) - you've made
my life so much easier since I subscribed to this mailing list.
Also I've written some scripts that interface
with windows and telnet. I know you'll be interested in this one - the
script runs on J-Term pro (a scriptable telnet client). Basically it reads a
text file you have on your machine, the text file contains a list of domain
names. It then asks you what IP address you want these domain names pointing to,
what your primary and secondary nameservers are - and then sets up dns for ALL
those records on both your nameservers (mx records also, if need be...) A lot
quicker than going through the GUI and you can leave it to run overnight
automatically! I set up 14,000 dns records this way!!!! Obviously you have to
tinker it to your needs but if someone can help me on the above then I'll post
the code to this newsgroup as a thankyou!!
