Good, then you will need to do second round of translation in the Linux box as well. Also helps to act as a second in line firewall that is transparent from the outside world. The Linux box must perform translation at some point or no go. The patches only work when translating. > > You will also want to dial in your DNS to servers for each IP block, > > and load balance that as well. > > What do you mean by that? The docs from isc.org, the pdf will help. You may have to use a later version of bind, 9.x not 8.x, but it may work in older ones as well. Normally an A record looks like domain.com. IN A ip So all you will need is domain.com. IN A ip1 IN A ip2 Which will use ip1 half the time, and ip2 the other half. In theory. There are other params like the time for each one to last and etc. Download this pdf doc on admin Bind and it should tell you what you will need from there http://www.nominum.com/resources/documentation/Bv9ARM.pdf > Hope that the patches work when I get my hands on them :-) They do, have you emailed Julian? He will send you the ones you will need. Without the patches things will not work correctly or at all. They are a must not an option. -- Sincerely, William L.
