My original message:

I wrote an init.d script (for Gentoo) that queries the configuration database for the IP addresses and UID/GIDs of all the sites using ASP.NET. The script then uses start-stop-daemon to launch a separate xsp process for each IP address, executing as the appropriate user. Technically, I could have also done this by parsing the Apache config files, but those are generated from the same database anyway.

In short, I'm not using mod_mono to spawn xsp servers. I decided that since each virtual host would require mod_mono to (I think,) spawn a separate alias process, I might as well do that externally and have the added bonus of more security.

Yep. I'm doing that too. :)


If anybody thinks the code would be useful, I'm happy to share it, though I may have to strip out portions for security reasons. (I'd replace with appropriate comments, of course)
