Well, earlier some one did ask about 'Personalized DNS to clients'.
So I posted the URL of our sample site http://my.sampledomain.co.uk/ .
Hence many of this list members now have the idea on how to offer such
services to their clients.

Unfortunately this product is not my personal implementation.
But my personal advice are:
Do not interfere or modify Cobalt's default cgi and configuration
files; rather, use similar separate files for your modules
and give 'user' level authentication except the 'admin' user.
This way you are more safe and your warranty for the cobalt product
will not be voided.
