Since the application is strictly web, I suggest using SSL. You can set up the Web application to authenticate and you can put a rule on your firewall to forward all SSL traffic from the specified customer source IP to the web server inside. This would be very easy and provide secure connections for you customer. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
