That translation can be restricted to a single "port" address, which is why you can see my web page, on this machine, at an odd port address if you click on the link in the sig. This is of course dependent on having a fixed ip, and mine is somehow derived from the mac address of my router, so if I should have to change routers, that would change until such time as I clone this mac address into the other router, at which point the routers reboot gives me back the old address and my registered domain name once again works, if the other router also does this port forwarding. > https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14056/what-is-kernel-ip-forwa >rding > > The URLs might be folded by my mailer. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
