We manage the Air Force LAN in the pentagon. It consists of a broadband running throughout the building, with numerious ethernet segments bridged off of it. We currently have 1 office (office A) running Banyon vines. They have 2 offices, each with their own ethernet, connected together over the broadband. To the vines system, it just looks like 1 big ethernet. Now another office (office B) wants to do the same thing -- use the broadband to expand their local vines network to another office. The problem is that we don't want this office to use office A's servers (routing servers ??). As I understand it, when turned on, the PC sends out a request for a routing server. Whichever server answers first is it. We would like it so that only the servers from that PCs office answer. Is there a way to do this in Banyon Vines????/ If not, the only alternative would be to filter addresses at the ethernet level -- only allowing a particular office's PC get to its server (or vice versa), but this would be a pain to manage. thanks, -- terry -- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Terry Bernstein <<terry@hq.af.mil<<< >"Who is John Galt?"> << The Pentagon <<< --------------------------------------------------------------------
