Well, my understanding of TCP is that it uses a sliding window/packet acknowledgment system to transfer data. I would imagine that this would incur a bandwidth overhead vs. UDP. So, given that it's more efficient to use UDP on the LAN, that is the behavior I had wanted to set up. > To answer your question directly, no, there isn't a way to specify mount > options per server. I didn't think there would be at the moment. Perhaps there would be a way to set this up with automounter variables, or some other mechanism. I guess what I had been hoping for is that automounter could somehow detect how long it takes to contact a given server, and then depending on the lag, it would set the mount to be UDP for a short lag, or TCP version 3 for a long one. -Dave ________________________________________________________________________ David Meleedy Analog Devices, Inc.
