Agreed, I still maintain that -net or -questions will be able to answer this better than we can. We're just ISP admins. Like, what do we know? (Apart from how to kick tape drives really hard). > Also, I would traceroute/ping your aliased addresses from outside the network > some and make sure that you can actually reach them from elsewhere, otherwise > this entire exercise has been pointless throughout.. You know, I don't actually recall anybody suggesting that first. Perhaps an idea. Hmph. I feel like an idiot now. Anyway, I'm just going to point out the re-cap I posted yesterday, and the fact that alexus has hopefully temporarily disappeared over to -net and -questions. Hopefully the last message we should see on this thread (apart from this one) will be alexus' solution. Bit of a cliff-hanger this one, innit? And people say Eastender's is tense.... :-) -- Paul Robinson ,--------------------------------------- Technical Director @ Akita | A computer lets you make more mistakes PO Box 604, Manchester, M60 3PR | than any other invention with the T: +44 (0) 161 228 6388 (F:6389)| possible exceptions of handguns and | Tequila - Mitch Ratcliffe `----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
