Adding another Server

Hey,


Currently running one server, is it possible to run another server off the same machine? If this is not possible is it possible to have another domain in the system?


Thanks,


Shannon

AFAIK you can run more than one instance of OSX Server on the same unit provided you virtualize it. OS X Server (but not OS X Client) is supported in the usual Virtualization engines on either platform.


By another domain do you mean DNS zones? If you really mean LDAP Services with all that that entails then no you can't. Leastways I can't think of a way that's easy. You must realise Kerberos is a key part of LDAP Services and if you want SSO (Single Sign On) there can only be one KDC (Key Distribution Centre) for any domain. This would be true for any environment - Active or Open Directory.


Perhaps your question is really about Replication?


HTH?
