If it's only one, you don't to redirect_address on it otherwise, it will lose internet access itself since all return traffic will go to the internal address. If you have multiple IP's on xl0, redirect one of the aliased IP's to the internal system. Otherwise, use redirect_port instead. -- Micheal Patterson Network Administration TSG Incorporated 405-917-0600
