Because the box has two Ethernet cards, it is more convenient to put the additional IP addresses on the lo0 device rather than on both Ether devices! The additional addresses are put on the device using the ifconfig 'alias' feature... Note also that it might be necessary to increase the open file limit for the named process (assuming you are also running named) as it will try to listen on each of the IP addresses that you define. The limit/ulimit command can be used to do this! > > Thanks, > Tony > -- > > >>>> N5GPI WWW SITE - HTTP://WWW.GCR1.COM/N5GPI <<<< > Best Experienced with Microsoft Internet Explorer 2+ Tony
