Might be kind of cool for people to share their wishlists for Mac OS X Server 1.5/2.0.

Mine:

1. More consistent/unified administration tools
2. Graphically administered mail server
3. Carbon support
4. A front end for Apache configuration
5. Mach 4.0 http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif
6. Built-in SSH support
7. Optional installation of PHP and MySQL

You might just get this stuff. The future of Mac OS X Server is as an addon package for Mac OS X Client.

iTools from Tenon Intersystems offer all of these and more! I have been researching this for the past week and here is what I learned:

iTools basically installs a new version of Apache Webserver on OS X Server (which includes the latest compile of Apache, FTP and Bind, plus a few more that slip my memory)

It also comes with the Apache module complile of mod_per, fastCGI, php, and many others.

It includes a front-end ram-cache called squid which improves latency like crazy.

I am planning to utilize this for a project that I am working on. It's a full featured portal site with tons of Perl CGI scripts. I am currently using WebTen.

Just thought I'd let you know that the solution your wishing for exists in a big way already...cya\
