I am interested in hearing about how everyone set up their
numbering schemes -
I am in the process of setting up a more extensive LAN and
must find some more information related to this.
We are not currenty connected to the ARPA/MILNET network,
but perhaps in the future...
Our current configuration is very simple;
Two primary site LAN's connected via VITALINK bridge -
So, I ask of your experience in this matters;
What criteria are considered when deciding on a host numbering scheme?
How to maintain consistant host numbering when VMS sites are involved?
Any pointers to a source of information on this matter??
Thanks in advance for your time,

If your network might eventually be connected to the Internet, you can petition
the NIC for a "network number assignment for a network unconnected to the ARPA
Internet". This will simplify matters if you ever manage to get hooked up later
(say, via CSNET.) Send a message to Joyce Reynolds, jkrey@venera.isi.edu, and
she'll send you an electronic form to fill out. You may request a Class B or
Class C network number, depending on your needs.
I don't see how having VMS machines has much to do with consistent network
numbering. If they're running TCP/IP and support subnets, they're just like
any other host. If VMS machines are talking DECnet on an interconnected DECnet,
then you have to worry about being consistent with the other DECnet hosts
and conventions, but it don't have nothing to do with TCP/IP.
