[jadmin] server aliases

[Bearcat M. Sandor]

Paul, 

Thank you! With that info and i bit more work i may be able to get this 
working. It is possible to to port based dns forwarding of some kind? What i 
mean is that i have the jabber server on my .net address, but i'd like people 
to be able to access it on my .com address. For instance, jabber messages to 
bearcat at feline-soul.com would be forwarded to the jabber server on 
jabber.feline-soul.net and the jabber port and email to 
bearcat at feline-soul.com would be forwarded to the smtp port.  To the person 
contacting me it would  be transparent and i could use the same address for 
both.

I'm not asking you to spend your time telling me how to do it (unless you 
enjoy such things :) ), i just want to know if it can be done so i don't 
start spinning my wheels for nothing.

Thank you,

Bearcat M. Sandor
