I just looked at Ensim Pro pricing, and it looks quite reasonable.  Now
their support pricing... is another matter <frown>.

An Ensim Pro unlimited license costs $600.  You can put it on a system
that costs $1400, and use the resulting $2000 system to host a thousand
domains.  Really.

A RaQ costs less.  And can host somewhere in the neighborhood of 500
domains.

So what's value, anyway?

(Note that I do NOT sell or support Ensim; in fact I seel/support a
competitor.  However I get tired of hearing that pricing is too high
when all companies are trying to do is stay in business and support
their clients.)
