It certainly looks to me like your network is flaky.  Hopefully it's
an artifact tickled by the multicast functionality, which will resolve
itself once you change to broadcast...

This is going to be a problem, once you get things working smoothly. Unless you take special measures it'll be a roll of the dice as to what server you'll connect to.

I recommend you follow OttoM's suggestion to revert to an Interconnect config (although I disagree with several of his statements, cockroaches notwithstanding, regarding the severity of using '-A' - it'll work fine for redirecting *between* FOGs, which is what I believe you care about and I verified this both by re-reading the code and trying it myself). An Interconnect config will work if you want to be able to redirect within a FOG also, and it allows you to use the primary hostname/IP when redirecting, so it's preferable. Get this working first.

To avoid the die-roll sending you to the Linux boxes, you have a few options.
- Just disable/shutdown DHCP on the Linux boxes
  after getting utadm set up the way you want it.
  Since the solaris box will offer DHCP the DTUs
  will be told to connect to it initially.  This
  is your simplest option.
- Use AMGH.  This would allow you to configure
  your systems to send specific users where you
  want them.  If you have some folks you want to
  be using Linux, and some not, this will make
  things seamless for you.  You can specify the
  behavior per-Sun Ray, per-smartcard, per-user,
  or whatever works best for you.
- Configure DHCP individually for each MAC, on
  both servers, to specify where you want each Sun
  Ray to go.  Sounds painful, not your first
  option but I mention it for completeness.

Your first step is to just get things working to a point where utswitch redirects work, without introducing any new variables. Then you can experiment with the options above to get more control over where the DTUs are connecting.

I'll hopefully get some time to take ndssr01 down this weekend and
reconfigure as per Bob's and OttoM's emails.  In the meantime, and I
wasn't making changes to anything, but I ran utgstatus on ndssr01 and
got this (notice pablo's status on the 192.168.132.0 interface):

bash-2.05# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utgstatus
host flags interface flags interface flags 134.222.187.0/24 192.168.132.0/24 ------------ ------------------- -------------------
ndssr01   TN    134.222.187.208 UA-    192.168.132.1   UA-

pablo     -N    134.222.187.81  UA-    192.168.132.2   UAM

skb-linux -N    134.222.187.182 UA-    192.168.132.3   -AM

So I ran into the other office where there's a sunray connected to
ndssr01, signed on thinking I'd try the utswitch to pablo, but ran
utgstatus first and got this:

bash-2.05# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utgstatus
host flags interface flags interface flags 134.222.187.0/24 192.168.132.0/24 ------------ ------------------- -------------------
ndssr01   TN    134.222.187.208 UA-    192.168.132.1   UA-

pablo     -N    134.222.187.81  UA-    192.168.132.2   -AM

skb-linux -N    134.222.187.182 UA-    192.168.132.3   -AM

I don't know what happened in those few moments, but ndssr01 saw pablo
as 'U' and then not.
