    Hi Charles, guys.

    I am pretty aware of the fast that I can create one or more mail hubs and set up my dns server with 2 or more MX records.
    I am conserned about the practical side of the setup.
    If the ftp server is going to be on a separate box, how
    would I NFS-mount the resources so that each of the users would be able to access their web dirs only, etc.
     
    Btw, I found this website which seems promicing.

    > DNS should allow you to split the mail from the web by pointing the MX and the A records to different places. Ditto for ftp, if that is set up with a different URL (such as ftp.xxxx.com). So you could have 3 servers doing different services. The database could be on any of the servers as long as you can mount the filesystem on the other two.
