Just setup the second NIC and tell Apache2 and Sendmail to not bind to this IP: Apache2 -> Listen directive in httpd.conf Sendmail -> DAEMON_OPTIONS directive in sendmail.mc I just wonder about your comment, both daemons would only bind to the NIC #2 (private address space). This is nothing from default. If in doubt post your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth{0,1} config files. OK...so here's what happens. I activate the second NIC (eth1) and internet browsing is unavailable on the server. Going to an outside line, I try going into a web page or checking email. Both fail. I can't even ping my IP address. Inside on the LAN, Samba doesn't respond properly. Computers know it's there, but nothing can connect. I checked the Firewall Options in the Security Level panel and set eth1 to a trusted interface. However, no change in behavior. I deactivate eth1 and just leave eth0 running, web and outside lines are all happy again. So below is my ifcfg files. Let me know what you think... THANKS!
