[freeside-users] Question about domains

[Bowen, Peter]

Stu,
	I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, but I would attempt
to unify the accounts somehow and use the agents or even agent types to
handle this...

Subject: [freeside-users] Question about domains

Okay, time to start with the dumb questions.

I've got FreeSide installed, mostly, and I'm working on the creation of 
exports, services and packages.  I don't think I've run into any bugs 
yet, but just for completeness, I'm using:

Fedora Core 4
FreeSide 1.5.7
HTML::Mason 1.3101
Perl 5.8.6
PostgreSQL 8.0.3
DBI 1.48
DBD::Pg 1.43

I'm also using Apache2 and mod_perl2.


I'm struggling to understand how FreeSide's handling of domains can be 
mapped to our admittedly oddball setup.  SpiritOne has acquired two 
other ISPs over the years, and we have kept all three domain names 
active - spiritone.com, aracnet.com and involved.com.  So, rather than 
one "primary" domain, we have three.  How do I model that in FreeSide? 
It appears to me that I have to make three copies of each package, each 
including a different svc_domain, in order to support our setup.  Is 
that right, or am I missing something?

Our current system allows us to easily move customers from one domain to

another.  If I'm right about having to triplicate the packages, then it 
seems a lot more painful under FreeSide.  I'm not sure that's a huge 
deal, though, it probably only happens once a month on average.  On the 
other hand, setting up and maintaining three copies of every package 
does seem pretty painful.

Thanks,
  - Stu
