- Hello. I don't read this newsgroup, so if you would be so kind as to e-mail
- me a response, I would sure appreciate it. Also, forgive me if this is a
- FAQ, but I did not see it in the FAQ for CAP.
-
- I have an IPX with two ethernet boards in it. I'd like to use EtherTalk
- Phase 2 on each interface, *WITHOUT* routing. We have all the routing we
- need between networks (several) but to handle the massive traffic from
- multi-megabyte files being printed to appletalk printers, I'd like to save
- the routers a little trouble and just print to either network directly.
-
- I.e. I have net A and net B, and I want the Unix Machines on net A to send
- files to the Net A address of the IPX, and I want the Unix Machines on net B
- to send files to the Net B address of the IPX. That's no problem with IP.
- But, I want the files to go out the right port. I.e., if I have a printer
- on net A, I want the file to be printed (with papif) via the Net A interface
- on the IPX, and ditto for net B.
-
- Unfortunately, when I try and get aarpd to run on le0, and then on le1, I
- get "can't start ZIS. . ." and things go crazy.
-
- If *absolutely* necessary, I can seed one (or both) of the ports, though I
- *REALLY* don't want do this. Since the etalk.local files starts with
-
- interface "le0"
-
- I assume (probably incorrectly) that you could have multiple interfaces.
-
- Anyway, thanks for any help anyone can throw my way.
-
- Oh, and by the way, it works just fine on a single ethernet.
