Hello Mick, I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but, you make want to read up on 'net-misc/ucarp' "UCARP allows a couple of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses in order to provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland implementation of the secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD’s alternative to the patents-bloated VRRP)." hth, James -- [email protected] mailing list
