There's nothing you can put into DNS that's going to return port numbers that would help that issue. Depending on your network configuration you might be able to play around with port mapping or re-direction but its not needed. Create additional host names like webmail.example.com, pop3.example.com, imap4.example.com and point them to the host that does that function. Start off with them all returning the same IP address and send a notice to all your users to change their configuration to use the new names. Then, when you move the functionality to a different box, just change the corresponding DNS record to return the new IP address. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The avalanche has already started, it is too Rod Dorman late for the pebbles to vote." – Ambassador Kosh To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
