Re: MySQL Support

Hi Pedro,

hopefully I didn't get it wrong but I thought MySQL-support means an 
agent which creates/deletes databases for domains/vhosts so that your 
customers can easily create their own databases. In fact this isn't a 
very hard task as long as you don't care about quotas and backup.
So you didn't meant to replace LDAP with MySQL?

Regards,

Hans
