I'm not sure what that really means. You have to select one or more tcp-adminstrator nodes for each Domain ring--it works best if you only one administrator per ring, but we have had two in one ring for a limited time with some success. The U of I has many separate domain rings all connected to our internet backbone. Each ring must, of course, be configured as a separate internet subnet. A word of warning: the standard domain tcp (version 3.0), is full of bugs. Make sure you get the tcp patch (available in the Oct. 1987 patch tape, patches 56 and 57). If your salesman is like ours, he won't know anything about a patch tape. Insist that he find out and get you one. It will save you a lot of grief. The next tcp (version 3.1) is supposed to fix these bugs. --Mark Guzzi University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ARPA: guzzi@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu USENET: {ihnp4,cmcl2,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!uicsrd!guzzi
