Come on now - don't shoot the messenger! If Ipswitch uses poor encryption and doesn't suggest how to protect the registry keys, I'm all for this info. I would rather be informed than ignorant of an issue. Andrew -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On

BIND can do this easily (I can only vouch for the Unix version). Just do a line like: * IN A A.B.C.D and any request for hosts NOT explicitly listed will go to the wildcard IP. Andrew -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of

Actually, VNC is by ATT research labs in the UK. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ We use it extensively - however, a few caveats: 1. CPU utilization goes through the roof on the host machine during a session 2. Use the java web client - seems faster to me 3. Only good for IP

[IMail Forum] approaching 999 vhosts

Hi, I am nearing the 999 IPless vhost limit. I understand I can edit the registry directly to add more (or use adddomain.exe) but I won't be able to use IMail Administrator. I can write scripts and/or ASP to do this, but has anyone had bad experiences going over 1000? Wondering if I should just

This applies to new IPs on the SAME machine. It's really not that bad. I went through this when I got my own IP block from ARIN. The best way to do this is to simply add the new IPs to the server leaving the old ones intact. PLEASE do a backup first. Then go into IMail Administrator - all

As an afterthought, there is a little more to be done. Once you remove the old IPs, you'll have to do some housekeeping in the registry. You can delete the old IP sections and also be sure to update items like the gateway, etc. if you are monitoring them. My changeover was total - I had to

RE: [IMail Forum] DataBase

1999-09-16 Thread Andrew Cook
Another nice thing about using the IMail database is that it gives you machine independence. I have moved my IMail services between 4-5 servers at various times and by NOT using the NT database it has been a snap. For example, I moved IMail temporarily to a secondary web server so I could

I agree with Len - I use basic filters on my Ciscos and more secure rules on FreeBSD boxes with two-three NICs. BTW - for max. throughput on some firewalls/servers, I have been using the Netgear GA620 gigabit card (has drivers for NT and FreeBSD). Awesome and only about $350. Andrew
