Try typing "ifconfig ie0" (or whatever is appropriate) on each host. Our servers can see each other and their local clients, but not the clients of the other servers. This is because each server is connected directly to the campus backbone via ie1, and connected to the clients via ie0. The rup and rusers broadcast message is not passed through the gateway routers. Doing a rup on a specific host is not a broadcast message, and it is routed.
