i've never had luck doing this with ipchains. but if the packets are TCP then you can use 'rinetd' to do it. i use rinetd a lot, works great. but it does not support UDP. i wouldn't reccomend putting rinetd under a high load, i don't know how robust it is but ive never had it go down on me before. rinetd is a snap to configure too. nate -- ::: ICQ: 75132336 http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
