To use DNS server and mailserver on same machine, without showing this to the outside world: one IP for DNS server, one for the mailserver. If you let QDNS have the primary IP (in TCP/IP control panel), the mailserver will identify himself as ns.host.com, instead of mailhost.host.com. The mailserver listens to both IP's (SIMS). So ideal situation would be: Primary IP: resolves to mailhost.host.com and is used by SIMS or EIMS Secondary IP: resolves to ns.host.com and is used by DNS Just a very specific situation that probably is not common... I know this could be solved with CNAMES, but we did not want to use these because of reverse records... J.
