Just to finish off this topic, I went with the alias method. Both the client and server now have aliases on a new private network and the PHP scripts will have to connect to the new alias. Since that causes the remote machine to also be seen as the aliased IP it does not match the real IP which uses ident so a password (md5) is required. Works great. -- D'Arcy J.M.
