Yup, no prob. But you probably want to put these servers on a DMZ (or PSN, same thing) if you're going to allow external access to them. > If someone tries to telnet to unix.trans-man.com, how does GnatBox > know to send the person to 169.254.125.55 ? You make an inbound tunnel that redirects port 23 on EXT to port 23 on the target server. Then you make a rule that allows the desired external hosts to access the external tunnel endpoint. It's all explained quite well in the docs. Check out the section on "Inbound Tunnels" -- p. 124 in the v3 guide. > Since we're on the topic of DHCP, and GNATbox doesn't presently offer it, > does this mean the PCs in my network will need static IP addresses, or can > I use the DHCP service on the NT to solve this? Either. But, if you put the NT server on a DMZ, you probably won't be able to use it for DHCP. Isn't there some sort of DHCP sub-protocol that's required for it to work properly across a router? -- Alex Howansky [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wankwood.com/
