I used the ifconfig alias method to make the machine answer to the second IP, and I grabbed NCSA's httpd 1.5 to do the WWW stuff. The problem I am having is this, when I send Email to the second IP address, I get a sendmail configuration error. I added the second IP to the /etc/sendmail.cw file, and even tried to add an MX record in my DNS db files. I still get the configuration error. Does anybody know of the something that I am missing? sendmail is sooooo helpful in it's error message ( :-( ), so any help would be greatful. Anybody out there done the same thing and already jumped this hurdle? I checked on the Web with the BSDI FAQ and did not see this subject. Thanks in advance, Alan Ross alan@wdsi.com
