Thanks Craig, I'll make those changes & see. This is where I'm
sending/receiving mail at the moment so I may be a while before
reporting what happens.
So I'll fix eth1's ip in setup, what about eth0 which connects to the
DSL router? Can I leave it set to fetch its ip from dhcp?

My theory is that a 'server' should have fixed ip addresses if at all
possible.
I don't see what is to be gained by having two ethernet interfaces on
the same network but I do on occasion make extra virtual ethernet
devices for things like apache myself. I am just wondering what it is
that you hope to accomplish by doing that.
