True, if one is short off real IP's it may actually be better to set up a fake net (the 168.10.X.X (?) net ) for the internal non internet vital machines and assign each workstation a static IP and give the internet servers two static IP'S one internal + one external IP on different NIC's ( This inshures that you can admin your servers directly from anywhere ) and then you could add as a extra security layer a firewall to deny access to the workstations but allowing the workstations access to the outside world. I personally don't like the dhcp aproach off dynamic ip's... But that is me. Michael --- Michael C. Vergallen A.k.A.
