Its easy enough to configure how the mail comes in. The question is, how does the data *leave* your network. Despite coming in on one interface, it will exit your default route unless you take routing information from your two upstream providers. Its not that simple from one box. Before getting into dynamic routing via bgp, you might find it easier just to get a second box with a default gateway to isp2... ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
