Yes. If you configure QuickDNS Manager to auto-connect to servers (in the Preferences), you can have it connect you to both servers every time you launch it. In later versions (QuickDNS 4.0 and later), this whole issue becomes moot, since you always connect to all servers, when you connect to QuickDNS Central. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy >I'd been thinking all along that, since it worked with all primary >data on both servers, that's the way it was intended to work...
