If you enable a service that's externally available, should you not advertise it? How does one control on which interfaces one advertises? Eg at home I run a machine with one nic that's Internet facing; the other nic handles local lan traffic. I would happily advertise on the local nic; the external nic less so :-). - Bart Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
