Hi, indeed this problem needs to be addressed; let's think it over before implementing an ad-hoc solution right away :) Are there more server-specific options like the bind-ip? Probably yes. We still like the idea of a centralized configuration scheme; maybe we could just amend the config table with an extra field 'HOSTNAME' for server-specific options. If this field is NULL, the value will be regarded as the value to be used when no matching 'HOSTNAME' is found for a particular option.
Any thoughts on this? Mark: i would opt for different tables for different service providers; maybe we could implement the table to authenticate users to as a config-option. regards roel On Thu, 2002-09-05 at 00:40, Jesse Norell wrote: > > Hello, > > We're working on a multi-server setup with a single > database server, and multiple postfix/dbmail servers > connecting to it.
