If you have more than one IP you could set up your DNS like this: say your domains are customer1.yourdomain.example customer2.yourdomain.example ... customer5.yourdomain.example which all resolve to the same IP. Now set up new entries ftp1.yourdomain.example ftp2.yourdomain.example ... ftp5.yourdomain.example which point to the corresponding server (not to the same ip). Now you only have to tell your customers which host to use an you are all set. I think another solution would be to use a ftp proxy, where your clients get redirected based upon username. User A logs in as 'usera@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', the ftp-proxy looks up the corresponding ftp-server from a table and redirects the ftp session to that ftp-server. 'userb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is redirected to the same server, where 'userc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' is redirected to another server. cya, Nils -- Nils Juergens | ju@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Having problems sending big files over the net?
