I solved the problem for now, but not very elegant to say the least. I am using ipfilter round-robin rdr rules to map the public IP on this machine, to 10 private IP's on the internal NIC. I rewrote my mpd.conf to listen on these IP's instead, and it is working, but has not had a load thrown at it yet. I am going to apply this patch on another mpd machine I have running and see if it solves the problem. Then i can get rid of my nasty ipnat and ipf rules that i had to write to make it work. Thanks a bunch, will let you know in the next 1-2 days Regards, Elliott Perrin eperrin@beanfield.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
