Robert; I've ran into that problem myself long ago, but never investigated, using dyndns services instead, so I do not need the real ip address any longer. But as a pointer - there is a warning in the shorewall docs, that one shouldn't use DNS names instead of ip addresses in the rules section - maybe that causes the problems. kp (I'll put it on todo-list - it should be solved :)) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
