- Is there any way to get a diskless Sun to get its boot and swap off a
- Sun on a different subnet (bootparam itself is no problem).
-
- Actually, we do this all the time where the other subnet is behind a
- cisco router. The cisco can be made to proxyarp for the remote subnet.
-
- The problem is the case where a Sun with two ethernet cards is acting
- as the router. I don't see how to make the Sun proxyarp for machines on
- its other subnet. ("arp -s ip-addr routers-ether public" is a disaster,
- since there is apparently only one arp table for both interfaces).
