I thought this was a cool trick too.

The ip address is easy enough to get, just ping the server name.
You need to write a simple batch file to switch between the two host files.
Then the users only click on the icon for the batch file.

Thanks Brian,

I have already tried one of Diane's suggestions (2 profiles - same PST)
but
the hosts file trick is interesting although it requires you to know the
IP
address and not the user friendly name. Some of my users have trouble
with
a mouse - forget editing a file etc.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Andrew

Is there such a utility that will allow an easy change of the outgoing

Not a utility, but here's one way from our very own Diane Poremsky:

Here's one option:
