My server runs everything that pertains to a customer in a chrooted environment, this is done easily not by multiple xinetd.... ACK i have 1000 ips on a single box can you imaging 1000 xinetd sessions running, i think not.... !!! I can use deamons for everything but httpd, which runs out of xinetd using hosts.allow, or run all services from one xinetd. This does work quite nicely under linux and FreeBSD freebsd seems to be more stable though, bit more robust networking wise.
