- This may not apply perfectly, but we have a Novell File server, running vrs.
- 3.11 with the appletalk NLMs. Novell creates an "internal" router, using
- 2 network numbers - one contains the file server and internal router, the
- other is the network outside the FS, which all the machines are on. So,
- from what I see, Novell is routing between whats internal and what's
- external. My point being that they both have the same network names, and
- show up as one zone. This may be a special case, though. We have multiple
- zones here, connected by AIR over Internet. I'll have to try changing the
- zone names to match up and see what happens.
