  15.     "As someone mentioned, AppleTalk is not really designed for
  16.     multihoming without routing."

  18. But it works if the multi-homed device is intelligent and can keep its
  19. multiple ports straight.  The only conceptual problem is that you have
  20. to advertise different NBP entity names out your different ports.  This
  21. can confuse a Mac user who sees the same device appear multiple times
  22. in Chooser.
