Or do I need a static IP for it also? It really depends on what you are trying to do. But for most purposes no, you don't need to have a static IP internally to do it. Setup your masters list on your secondary and you should be OK. If you add firewalling on the primary or ACL's you may run into problems. There are other situations that you might run into as well...but like I said, it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Nick Rogness - Keep on Routing in a Free World...
