Well the internal nic is only as you say for faster internal usage and
the machine don't do anyhting else then to act as a mail server, I have
tested it without iptables on and there is no differ in speed, I also
tried to use the external ip but with no joy was even slower :(
Can I be bold and ask if you could give an example to how I would go
about configure bind so that it would work better for my usage??
Kind regards

There is just one little thing left that i have noticed, the server
has one nic that has an external ip and another one that has an
internal ip, now what happens is that when the clients wants to check
the mail server the connection times out over the lan, the machine is
a xeon with 3ghz 512 mb of ram with about 70 users downloading from
the server, according do my calculations this should be fine (do I
been wrong before) so is there any way that I can speed up this I was
thinking about increasing the mtu but I am not sure if that is the
correct way to go about it.
Do the clients get email at all via the local LAN? My first guess
would be a DNS issue. My second would be a firewall issue. Is the
machine also acting as a router for the clients? Or just has a NIC
inside the LAN for faster access? (which doesn't matter much, unless
you're on metered bandwidth - I run one here on it's own public IP and
never bothered to add a second NIC for the local users for a couple
reasons)
