I'm assuming you have control over your own DNS. If you want it to use the internal address, give it a hostname that resolves only to the internal address. There's no reason why a host cannot have more than one hostname. I need more information to help further. What is this job backing up? The external client? The internal? It helps if you give us the configuration files so we can see for ourselves. -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
