Thats what I do - and it's working, working, working ... wonderfull stable and robust. (Did you tried a ping -l 65510 for FreeBSD and for HP-UX, or DUX ;-) ?) perhaps you should also have a look at the TIS Firewall Tollkit, so you could easily manage telnet, ftp news and _any_port_proxies. As Webserver for the world (and also as cache and proxy server for my users) I run the CERN. Perhaps you could use IP addresses according to RFC 1597 for your internal network and I'm shure you will have a sound slepper. so long Dirk -- Dirk Nerling http://www.pdv.de/~nerle
