Hello Ali,


   According to the FAQ, this doesn't look entirely possible;

        [...]
        4.10 Replaying Client Traffic to a Server 

        A common question on the tcpreplay-users list is how 
        does one replay the client side of a connection back to
        a server. Unfortunately, tcpreplay doesn't support this 
        right now. The major problem concerns syncing up TCP
        Seq/Ack numbers which will be different. ICMP also 
        often contains IP header information which would need 
        to be adjusted. About the only thing that could be easy 
        to do is UDP, which isn't usually requested.  
        [...]

        From; http://tcpreplay.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html


  I've had one other suggestion, and that is contacting the author
of "chaosreader" (with greenback or source);

  http://users.tpg.com.au/bdgcvb/chaosreader.html


's'cool ... I'll fish the web a little more and see what comes out ... if
nothing comes out, and I can't make a quick contribution to 
chaosreader, then I'll probably change the target host to acquire
the asset via another protocol (http/smtp/etc).


Thanks all.
