Which may mean I'm not your best source of help, too.

But this sounds like *exactly* the environment I've been running for a few years now (well, okay, it's a Cisco 675 over here). Running named, iptables, apache, email, and such, for a few dozen virtual domains. So I'll try to help, if you don't get a better offer. We should probably take the details to email, or phone if you want (I'm listed, and in whois for that matter). -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / New TMDA anti-spam in test John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ New Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
