Your best bet is to have the gateway perform a destination NAT, translating incoming requests to its external address towards the internal address of your server. Otherwise, move the server to a separate network (a DMZ) which uses external addresses, rather than mixing external and internal address on your regular LAN. Of course, there are many different ways to do what you want. Your idea of using multiple network addresses on the same network segment will work, but is just a little unclean, IMO. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." --President Thomas Jefferson.
