I have, more than once, These days I recommend qmail instead of
sendmail, though. Postfix might be nice, but I like maildirs.

Um - just curious - you're going to all these services for multiple
domains with a *single* IP address? Doing that for sendmail and named
is dead easy. In theory, http is easy, but I have no idea how common
the HTTP hooks to make that work are, and I wouldn't do it myself. I
don't know if FTP can do that; everyone I know who's doing
multi-domain FTP is also doing multi-domain http (on distinct IP
addresses), and just using the same IP address for both ftp and http.

Ipfw isn't really related to the above problem, but is straightforward
to set up. The Chapman and Zwicky book referenced in /etc/rc.firewalls
and the man page for ipfw should do it.
