Well, out of desperation, I went to the server admin screen
and reinserted the sites by "add new virtual site", giving
the "new" virtual sites the same name and ip addresses of
the missing sitelist items.

NOW, if I go to any of those sites "Siteadmin" screen, it
says the ip address is "0" and wont' let me turn the "accept
email" button.

Looks like I'm just about through using this raq... unless
one of you folks can guide me through fixing . uh, help?
