If I understood correctly, VHCS, syscp and ISPconfig only manage one server. I'd like to have the same mail accounts and dns zones on a secondary server (backup MX, secondary DNS). Any idea how to manage that? I thought maybe I can install VHCS on both systems and copy the VHCS DB to the secondary server using MySQL replication. But you probably got a better solution.
You can do that by using MySQL replication (which works for the most CPs) or like we did it with some dirty bash scripts (to make some exceptions, for non-productive hosts and the like).
That topic was also discussed some weeks ago on one of the debian mailinglist and then the Hosting Control Panel-overview [1] was created within the debian-wiki [2].
I would say that most of these CPs do their job very well, but most of them do not have a solution for end-users and automated software installation/update/removal of cms-systems, wiki-systems, guestbooks, forums and the like. But since all of the CPs [1] are open source, you are open to integrate your requirements to the front end.
If you're really wanna take the "best tool" for your requirements, then maybee you have to create something like the overview at forensoftware [3]. Please drop me a line if you wanna collect all the information on our SwiNOG Wiki [4].
HTH and have a good start into the new week!
