My concern is I'm more of an ISP so it would be easier to dump all the games
and other files that aren't being used any longer. Basically signal anything
that is non WINS and if it is confirm versions against aup to make sure
there aren't any dups or version mismatches. I suppose I could do a clean
reinstall to another machine and compare dirs but that could be time
consuming.

I agree. Perhaps even protected dirs for Wins so nothing but Wins can be put
in them. Just another way to help safegaurd the install.

I agree. I would LOVE to see host header support built in. Pushing this
issue even further when a user FTP's into the system they would be in there
virtual web server directory were they can manage their domain. Right now
i'm using IIS and WARTFPD to do this. Also wouldn't mind seeing some type of
load balancing so we can specify which domains are servered of each
computer. Example
Computer 1. Main Server
Computer 2. Business Web Pages. (www.theirdomain.com)
Computer 3. Personal Web Pages. (userpages.mydomain.com/customer)
Computer 4. Radius / SMTP / POP3
Etc...
Also ability to go into maintenance mode were ALL pages/domains would say
down for maintenance try again later. And release the lock on files so they
could be backed up. And while on the subject of maintenance mode perhaps a
standalone wcSMTP that would accept mail for ALL domain while the system was
in maintenance mode and forward when it was back up.

I'm sure he will. Things have come a long way but there is still allot more
to be done.
Boy this message got a little lengthy.
