Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/6_3_en.html http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/6_4_en.html I think the easiest way would be to follow the "Perfect Server for CentOS 5.2" ( http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2-x86_64 for x86_64 systems and http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-centos-5.2 for i386 systems) and then install ISPConfig ( http://www.ispconfig.org/ ).
