Hi,pardon my lack of knowledge in this area but how do I do that?
I cant find a mention of ip forwarding. Anyhoo, any idea why when I put
the above line in sendmail crashes and telnetting to the machine from any
class C except for 203.36.8.0 (its 'first' ip) takes a longtime?
That is why I ended up aliasing all the other machines in the first place.
Thanks again :() sorry to be a pain.
