I am ready to drop what I have and go back to the drawing board. I didn't got bridgeing on vlan interfaces to work like desired, but that was with 3.0... -- Henning Brauer, BS Web Services, http://bsws.de [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
