| hi everyone,
I've got back off holiday and the boss has dropped a problem on me, any ideas gratefully accepted!
We have two major sites each with its own email-server, each using a 1603 and ISDN to the ISP. Each mail server has the relevant router as its default gateway and the routers have an IP route 0.0.0.0 to dialer 0, which is configured to call the ISP.
I should add at this point that this was all set up by someone else before I got here!
The mail server on the other site has blown up a few days ago and so the boss wants to collect their mail from here using our set-up. We have another, separate, server here that can be configured to emulate the distant sites server, I've copied the relevant dialer info from the other config into my routers config (changing the dialer interface, etc to 2).
I've set up the access-list to stop various UDP's etc, and a new dialer-list 2 to define interesting traffic.
Now the problem...
how do I make packets from one server go out of dialer 0 and packets from another server go out of dialer 2?
I can set up a new access-list to allow the new server to send, but how do I get dialer 2 to check this access-list?
I'm still poking around with it but I'm a bit lost ATM...
Regards

| Sounds like all you want to do is make your new server the mail server for the other site, is that correct? Maybe I'm missin everything but it sounds like you be makin this much more difficult then it should be...

| Hi Retired,
yes that was correct. The problem I was having was to allow both servers access to the ISP through the same router but sending different log on data to the ISP depending on which server it came from.
Each server had a dialer set up, but I couldn't see a way of making each server select the right dialer...
The boss decided to take the new server over to the other site (about 170 miles away...
which I know doesn't sound much to you guys in the US but to us in the UK is like the far end of the universe!) and plug it in there...
so the problem is solved until the next time.
Thanks
