lrlso> I'd suggest looking at the old e-smith (now Mitel server 6000 or some-such - 
lrlso> not sure where the other 5999 versions went) - see http://www.contribs.org
lrlso> It is based on a flat-file config database and some perl scripts rather than

lrlso> There are similar products, including Clark Connect 
lrlso> http://www.clarkconnect.com/ - not sure if it supports vhosts.
