I'm on the cable, and I need to declare the 2 DNS of my provider first, because my identification is made by these DNS; for mailing, if I just declare the 486 as DNS, the smtp of the provider refuse to re-mail! So I'd like to use the provider's DNS for the mail, and mine for the rest (mine's faster!!); AND, if it is possible, keep a table of the most used IP adresses, in order to gain time. I hope I've not be too confused in my explanation. Thanks in advance Regards, JY -- Jean-Yves Barbier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Membre fondateur du CGE "La justice immanente est rarement imminente." P.
