Hi James, I agree. That would be the best way to go. But I figured Steve had something special in mind.

This way the mail will always go to the primary mx with the lowest priority if that connection goes down then the mail will go to the other ip.

Client has 1 dedicated line and 1 ADSL line. Heh heh not a load balancing or teaming question. Dedicated line has an fqdn of mail.bldc.com ADSL line has an fqdn of mail2.bldc.com (Static IP) Now...I want to be able to resolve mail.bldc.com to both IP's, is this possible in DNS, externally hosted?.....so that if one line is down, it'll go to the other. Thanks Steve The correct technical term for haggis stalking is "havering". ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Visit TechGenix.com for more information about our other sites: http://www.techgenix.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: jmay@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
