This company has a cisco router -to which I have no access to it- and that redirects the public IP address that we use for webmail services. This 2nd webserver should be seen by a lot of people and using a VPN would make things worse > > You will still have the routing problem.

We have a 255.255.252.0 network already because there are more than 500 computers with IP addresses in this company. All the users access the 2nd webserver directly to it thru it's IP address. Changing the subnet mask wouldn't quit the access? I dont understand what you are trying to explain here. John, thanx a lot for this pal... Juan
