Web host

Currently I am running my web and mail servers for multiple domains on OpenBSD but want to move to a different platform. My everyday laptop is FreeBSD and I have 10 years of Solaris experience, so I'm looking at one of them as a replacement using Jails or Zones.

1) With Solaris (ie, OpenIndiana) I can use lofs to mount the config and data directories for Apache from the global zone to nullify attempts of webpage highjacking. Is there something equivalent that I could do with FreeBSD to accomplish the same?

2) I have tested Jails v2 and like the individual network stack, but the errors on stopping them concern me. Does anyone know if there will be a fix and when? There didn't appear to be any update on the bug from the page noting the errors.

Have a look at nullfs(5).

You don't need VIMAGE. Just use it without.
