| Hi Celia,
since gxd is a relay, it will hide your internal server => The server does NOT
need a registered official IP address.
When you configure the newsfeed between your internal server and the external
server (usually the one at the provider), each server must be configured to
contact the firewall instead of the other server.
Of course topics entered to the internal server are visible for the public
internet only after they have been fed out to the outside server.

| Hi Sebastion,
Thanks for your reply, Now I have two more little begginner questions:
News : And if I have more than one news server in the internal net, does the
AFWU support it ?
Generic gateways : Can I have two applications that use the same tcpip port
number but talk with different external hosts ?
Many thanks in advance

| However many news servers you have on the internal network, the inbound newsfeed
is passed through the firewall to one and only one of them. It is up to that
server to provide newsfeeds to all the other internal news servers. Likewise,
normally, all but one of the internal news servers feed posted articles back to
the single one, which then posts them back to the ISP news server.
Wrt generic relay: no, no and a thousand times no, with the current product.
The generic relay, initially bolts together a machine inside the firewall and a
machine outside - to each machine, the firewall is the machine its talking to.
This is a one-to-one relay. It is then possible to modify the setup to make it
many-to-one. It can never be made one-to-many at the present time. That is to
say, whichever way the connection is being initiated, there can be many clients
(which initiate the connection) but only one server (which receives the
connection).

| On the other hand, if you *do* have two (or more) news servers behind the
firewall, and for some reason they talk to two (or more) different news servers
outside the firewall, then yes, AVFU does support this. Just create a generic
proxy that listens on a different (internal) port, and point your second
internal news server at that port instead of 119.
