We have a server behind the firewall. We use the Cisco DSL modem to NAT the
fixed address to the internal address. In other words, an external request
to address of xxx.xxx.44.82 gets converted to 10.0.0.24. The synchronizer
was set up with the xxx.xxx.44.82 address. Things have been working fine for
several years now.

Syncing on the internal LAN does not work. The thought was that the
xxx.xxx.44.82 request would head out (since it was not an internal address,
get turned at the router and come back to 10.0.0.24. However this does not
work. Cisco admits a problem with NAT. I would like to have the replicas
sync to the hub on the replica farm using the internal LAN (vs dialup).

Can I have two synchronizers running at the same time. One handling
requests for xxx.xxx.44.82 and the other handling requests for 10.0.0.24?

Surely this situation has been dealt with before. Is there a better answer?

TIA

Don

Don't use Internet replication?

That's the only answer I know of, and it's definitely one of the
reasons I don't use Internet replication, i.e., because it can't do
host resolution, which makes it unsuitable for any situation where
the IP address can change, or might be different in different
network contexts.
