Hello,
Well, I think that this is a useful tool for the vserver project.
We are using v_portmap as well as some others v_* scripts. After having
installed several vserver hosts I think it is much more easy to modify
the services than to go after every application and modify one or
several configuration file.
Also, it is easy to check the existing services running on a given host
and to create the v_* scripts in order to make sure that no port
conflict will occur between the vservers and the host. This is a general
solution to this kind of problem whereas fixing each application
individually can be, IMHO, a pain...
