The Idea is that the FreeBSD machine is DNS to my network : and provides IP aliasing so my other PCs can access internet via it. : I'd like it if the connection to my ISP is made automaticaly when : a call is made to an IP address not on my LAN. : any tips? You need to set up your own nameserver that is primary for your local network and is a slave of your ISPs nameserver(s). There are books about this by O'Reilly. If you want a simple example, send me some email. As far as the IP aliasing is concerned, I believe there's a NAT package running around somewhere. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> <http://www.awfulhak.demon.co.uk/> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour.... .
