- gateway - they may not listen to RIP.
- Not sure, we've had enough problems getting this to work at all,
- it took Digital Customer Support five weeks to work out the reason the
- PC's couldn't see the server was because the server had registered the
- name on the wrong interface as it was looking up BIND and finding the
- hostname with two IP's, and guessing thw rong one, rather than /etc/hosts
- which had one name per interface. And svc.conf was "hosts=local,bind".
- Another "gotcha".
