The current thinking is, if you have enough memory, the number of aliases you can have is in the region of 2^32. i.e. the complete Internet. I would, however, not recommend this. Mike Smith has tested a machine with approx. 5,000 aliases on it and there were no problems. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
