Okay, but, maybe the better way to do this is with ipvs (linux virtual server) or a tool like balance which enables you to share the load between multiple servers. Its imho better because its more robust and the job of tools like balance is to balance the traffic, while mlmmjs job is beeing a mailing list manager ;) HTH, Darkman -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFpUdfQoCguWUBzBwRAmxeAJwMPQP8ljD41OfMDFvVOHTWduss3wCfc9Ig 8TEW5UhjzJW2dkNgkNTSyx4=Hxk4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
