This is actually a better idea for my worst case scenario of having to add
another NIC if I can't get the aliased address to work.
However, there is someone else that has been toying with the pcanywhere
idea as well and I'm pretty sure once it is working for this guy the other
one will want it too.
I don't use pcanywhere so I don't know if you can manually specify a
different port. If you can I guess I could give everyone that wants it a
different port on the *.93 address but not using the defaults could create
some unique support situations when people forget their assigned port or
don't know how to change the defaults and I'd like to avoid that.

I haven't setup the port forwarding yet since traffic to the address I
wanted to use wasn't getting there anyway.
I was planning on using ipmasqadm to do the port fowarding once I can
forward traffic on the address that I would like to use.

Thanks,
