It seems to work just fine, now that I've figured out most of the ins and outs. What I can't quite decide is whether I need a second CPU server, or I should update the 2ed one to 3ed. I'm very keen to check out the new mailer facilities of ACME and upas/fs. My present facility is adequate but ready to be improved on. And I really need to grasp the DHCP/BOOTP aspects of the boot procedure properly, both in 2nd and 3rd edition. > Your network texture beyonds my understanding!

Occasionally, a client will need something I learnt and will pay me for it :-) The confusion is much greater when one looks at the NAT and IP filter rules and the multihoming in place at the client whose Internet services I'm privileged to share. ++L
