real simple - there's a HUGE difference between doing it for systems that only support one public IP and doing it for ones that support limitless ones. Big difference between something that supports all kinds of NAT, and something that butchers the term "DMZ" in everyone's head as port forwarding, its only real NAT support. (I'm a Cisco fan in general, but screw them for buying a company that's done something so stupid) If it were a simple, easy fix that Linksys magically came up with, Cisco would have yanked it from its new little brother company and put it in the PIX. Even the latest, greatest brand spanking new PIX OS 7 doesn't support that. It does do automatic DNS translation though, if the DNS queries traverse the PIX, so it has its ways of eliminating the problem for DNS names. It's something we'll see eventually. But in the case of a real hosting environment, you probably shouldn't be running NAT to your servers anyway. Put them off a routed public IP'ed interface to solve this. or use your beloved Linksys. ;) -cmb --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
