Reindl, Please do not top post. 255.255.255.248 gives you a total of 8 IPs, not 10, of which usually you loose 3 for the network, broadcast and gw addresses. You can assign those 5 in a range file without problems, you can also specify the netmask like in a "normal" cfg file. It shouldn't be needed to specify other settings. Where I work we'd route the additional subnet through the IP you already have on the server, thus allowing you to allocate _all_ 8 IPs as a range on the loopback interface with a /32 netmask. See if your ISP can do this for you. -- Nux! www.nux.ro
