I will vote for that one as well.  This would be a priority item for me.
Without it we have to make mods to the conf file by hand with many
opportunities for mistakes.

Hi Scott:

Why not templates for virtual host creation? That's a handy feature we use
all the time. It would be doubly handy if we could create the templates at
the SA level and force them to be used at the DA level.

dedicate

	the iManager functionality working well in CPX. We'd like to do
	incremental releases; this give you important pieces faster and
	shortens our development time generally.

		What about cpx for vps1 and solaris?  Are you expecting to
have CPX

	There are no direct CPX plans for those platforms at this time;
there
	will probably be some work around the middle of next year to explore
	that.
