One of the main advantages on seperating your virtual servers this method, is control. You, the system administrator, has total control of each filesystem.
Another advantage is the flexibility of running different services for different servers. As in the above example, we could have easily shut off FTP service for vserver2.com but kept it on for vserver1.com. Also, a user at vserver2.com, say bob@vserver2.com is not the same as bob@vserver.com, or even bob@mainserver.com (Sendmail will not get confused as virtuald will sort everything out, prior to Sendmail kicking in). This method causes the main server not to be cluttered up with your client's email accounts. They will be all contained within their own directory.
