You seem to be missing that this would require to propagate the virtual domain's DNS entry to the DNS server! If your DNS server is local, this isn't much of a problem, if your DNS server is configured to carry it, this isn't much of a problem, but if your DNS server doesn't yet carry it, there is nothing an rpm can do about. You will have to do it manually - Nothing in FE's rt3 rpm prevents you from doing so. It's just that it's impossible to make this work out-of-the-box, and therefore it's impossible for rpms to do so. > If you don't do it this way > you have to add pipe-to-program aliases for every queue > you create. Right, but .. remember, "many roads lead to Rome" ... Ralf
