This will work just fine. An option to go out another adapter would be very cool (specific IP address.) An option to constrain the ports might also be useful (for firewall traversal issues). But no changes are required in apr - I solved a similar problem 3 weeks ago. apr_bind() is the answer. Bind to what, exactly, that is the question :) Bill
