[NTLUG:Discuss] adding domain without restart the servers

[Stuart Johnston]

For apache, you can do something like:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts/mass.html

Although there are also modules that store configs in a database.  For 
example:

http://www.oav.net/projects/mod_vhs/

For DNS if you are using bind, you could probably use the "dynamic 
updates" feature although as long as your master server is not your 
primary server, it shouldn't matter if you do restart frequently.

Besides, there are other dns servers that use database backends and do 
not require restarting.  For example: http://www.powerdns.com/
