Looks like that did it Bill. Thanks!

Now if I could only get the two machines to stop competing with eachother.

Cheers,
Tony.

Tony,

Have you checked the option (I think snat automap) on
the self-ip addresses?

&gt; Tony,
&gt; 
&gt; Take a look at the following link for your outbound
&gt; access issues:
&gt; 
&gt;
http://tech.f5.com/home/bigip/solutions/natsnat/sol666.html
&gt; 
&gt; For your active/standby problem; do you have an F5
&gt; failover cable attached
&gt; between the units?  If not, you will need to
&gt; configure network failover
&gt; instead.  See:
