Yes, I meant IP address.

I'd like it to be automatic, is it possible ?

Sorry, I didn'd caught the meaning.

Yeah, in fact the problem is not so easy - i've got a little network: a 486 as a
router and a PII station.
I'm on the cable, and I need to declare the 2 DNS of my provider first, because
my identification is made by these DNS; for mailing, if I just declare the 486
as DNS, the smtp of the provider refuse to re-mail!
So I'd like to use the provider's DNS for the mail, and mine for the rest
(mine's faster!!); AND, if it is possible, keep a table of the most used IP
adresses, in order to gain time.
I hope I've not be too confused in my explanation.
Thanks in advance

JY
