Thom,

Spoilt for choice to which one of the 3 emails to reply to :->
Sorry for the delay, have to do the sleep thing at least 1 every 3 days.

Your guess on the location, sorry, its after, and inside **EACH** set of <VirtualHost> </VirtualHost>  container tags !
Although I have heard of people complaining that when they use their GUI, it removes the extra stuff they added manually, I personally have never experienced this (Note: Raq3 only experience), although if you DO alter the Cobalt inserted stuff, this is changed after the GUI does its thing - understandably.  But my own additions seem to stay, even after the recent raq3 OS update4  - Amazing, although my proftpd.conf (completely unrelated) did get screwed !  But in general its not a problem as my script whizzes through and replaces everything that is gone!

If you are really interested in the script, contact me off list for a copy for your perusal.

Best Regards
Kul
