I'm not sure I understand you here. What's wrong with others using my DNS? How would they be stealing from me? I thought the whole idea of a public DNS was to allow others to use it so that they can find out how to access my resources, such as my web sites and mail servers. Sorry if I'm a little dense, but I obviously have not been doing this very long. I am learning here. Len wrote: > BIND8 on Win32 is more mature. Ok, I will look into it. Do you know if BIND8 can use an alias IP instead of the canonical IP of the machine on which it is working? I still have a question outstanding concerning IMail. Can the IMail primary host IP be switched to using an alias IP rather than the primary IP? The IP address is exactly the same. The only difference is that it will be an alias IP rather than the canonical IP. Will it still function ok? Seems like it would if the virtual hosts can be assigned alias IP's and work ok, but I need some expert advise here. I guess I will be calling IMail tech support on Monday, but I was hoping to get the low down here first. Thank you everyone for helping me. I really appreciate it.
