That's exactly what I was referring to. If you can get your machine to reject the invalid users, you can cut down your processing time significantly. Over 3/4 of the connections to my server are rejected for invalid users. If I had to accept all of those connections, there's no way I could do it with only one machine. You need to investigate methods for your server to validate the users. You could do this via LDAP or some sort of synchronization routine. -- Bowie
