      I have many questions and yes I've been Googling.  I have had my small web / email server behind a Linksys and finally decided it was time to switch to something better.  pfsense seems to fit my needs and I've been testing it during the evening hours here lately.  I recently got bandwidthd working which is awesome.  I've had some really big bandwidth problems every once in a while and I don't know if it is massive web use, email use, DoS, or some other form of malicious activity.  Hopefully after this is fully implemented I'll be able to find out.

      Now to vhosts.  I am under the impression that with my current iis setup that vhosts may be a replacement?  I may be completely wrong however it seems that I can host websites directly from pfsense???  This may be stupid and I have been googling but not much help in confirming this.  If there is a good topic or howto on running this efficiently then please share.

      spamd.  This is what started my adventure as I had an ip address traced back to S. Korea that had somehow found a hole in my old php4 code and was spamming 1000's until my isp put my ip on a 24 hour lock.  I didn't see this listed under the packages section however I did see a post here listing it.  If this is possible to help with email please, please enlighten me.  Thank you.

          vhosts stands for virtual hosts which is the name given for the ability for a web server to handle one or more websites with HTTP on a single IP Address. So that is how it got its name.
