I hope I don't get flamed too bad for this, as I'm sure it has been
asked before. Unfortunately, we just started our own system and I only
have news groups going back to 4-17-96, so please help me out if you
can.

I'm fairly new to unix (6 months), and even newer to BSDI so there is
a lot that I don't know. Mostly, I've just handled webmastering our
site on a small scale with a few system maintenance chores thrown in.
We recently moved to our own system running BSDI 2.1 with Apache as
our web server.

I just had setting up hosted dns dropped in my lap with the directive
to get it up and running ASAP. Help me please.

I need detailed, step-by-step instructions for enabling virtual
domains and e-mail in BSDI. The Apache end I can handle as that is
very simple and straight forward. But the more I look at configuring
BSDI, the more confused I seem to get. With more experience, it would
probably be a little easier on me, but at this point I'm swimming in
the ocean without a life jacket.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Brad
