The Director tells the FD the hostname of the SD. You put the hostname of the SD into the hosts file of the computer the FD is running on. When the client computer resolves the hostname of the SD it will check the hosts file first to see which address to connect to. -- Kenny Dail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
