The light dawns! <g> Sounds to me as though you need to have the clients use the hosted system as their gateway, as though they're on a subnet, and have to go through the hosted system as a firewall (not a bad idea in itself). They need to *not* look directly out. Sounds like an iptables setup to route through the hosted system. Remember, if that works for you, that all the rules for blocking should happen *first* in /etc/sysconfig/iptables. mark
