I have a Firewall with a masqueraded DMZ. The adress of the external interface is not static (DHCP). The adress may change sometime. One of the servers in the DMZ needs to know the external adress. external interface | V Internet --------- Firewall ------ Intranet | | masq DMZ | |--- Server How can the Server determine the adress of the external interface or how can the firewall tell the adress of the external interface to the server Tks On Wed, 5 Sep 2001 12:25:21 -0500 (CDT), dog@intop.net wrote:

Hi,

since the external adress is assigned via dhcp and changes from time to time. What ist the most secure way to spread around the external ip adress to systems behind the firewall, e.g. in a masqueraded DMZ ? BTW the systems behind the firewall runs various OS.

Thanks for your advice
