We bought a BSDi/telenet box recently, it's fast stable and kicks butt. BSDi offers systems that will work with FreeBSD as they are one of the major supporters of the project. My only concern is that you want to run so many services on a single box, for starting out I would split the DNS/mail off from the rest of the services, run secondary dns and backup mail on the second box along with the rest of the services you are interested in. best of luck, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
