Hi 2 all, I'm new at ispconfig. I need to build multiserver platform with separate mail and hosting. I want to have one master server and few slave servers. I have one hardware server - dom0, and few virtual servers - xen1, xen2, xen3. The question is where to install master server? 1. I can install master server on dom0, all other VM's will be slave servers. or 2. I can install master server on xen1, mail server will be xen2, hosting server will be xen3 or 3. I can install master server and mail server on xen1, hosting server will be xen2, xen3 is not used. Which way is better?
1) I won't install master on dom0, better install it inside a vm. 2 + 3) are both ok. If you plan to get a big setup with many servers over the time, then use 2 and 2 is more secure than 3.
Thanks a lot, till, for advice! What is tha main difference between 1) and 2)? I mean, when xen1 is just master control panel, empty from any other services; and when xen1 is master, but handle some of slave services, such as email. Is 2) more secure than 3) in single-hardware config? I have bought manual for the team support. Hope I can post another questions here while setup and get support, thanks again.
