Your going to be using internal numbers behind your firewall. And if you try to use a internet standard address, it won't be routed to you.. If I understand you correctly. ---- my input ---- After Joshua Bank's reply, I think I understand what he's wanting. My guess is that after thinking about virtual servers with apache and the like, why not do that in a more general way? Well, bad news, all dns names resolve to the one IP address. The way virtual servers work is that the pre-resolved dns name is transferred in the http query. Thus if you want several web servers on an internal network behind the one external IP address you could do it. Actually, you could probably use the same notion for SMTP if you have really well-behaved clients and didn't mind doing a bit (lot?) of hacking. Really, it's all more trouble than it's worth though. Unless you don't value your time, that is... Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
