The nameserver domainname address resolves to the primary address, so normally it should not get queries on the second IP. >On the other hand, I'm not one to rule anything out just because it >hasn't been reported before.

This way we just need to put the mailserver on another mac and it the secondary address without any dns changes, so no mail-delay... >How much memory is free on the machine?

The machine has 19 MB free RAM, without VM turned on. I'll try decreasing the memory for QDNS just to be sure... >You might also want to follow up with Stalker - I notice the "b" in >the version string. The beta 8 of SIMS has been arround for several months, and it has NEVER crashed. Its considered as a final. Beta products of SIMS are always stable, no crashes at all reported on the SIMS talk list. So you would suggest getting rid of the secondary IP? Or maybe just move the SIMS to it's own mac? J.
