Scott: There are probably one or two configuration settings that I do not have correct at this time. That is why I am testing this on our Backup IPCop box.
You got this to work, so it will work for me, if & when I get the configuration settings correct. Question: Do I need to put something in the hosts file? At the moment, I cannot use that IPCop box to surf, because there is no name resolution. TIA! Lanny
The hosts file "should" only require the basics like the FQDN of the ipcop box mapped to its green address and 127.0.0.1 mapped to localhost.localdomain.
I'll poke at a virtual ipcop box again this afternoon. My boss is out of town for the week, so my load has doubled.
