I don't see, or there should not be, any problem having multiple SB's and multiple SC's on the same L3 network/broadcast domain. Each SC and SB host has a unique MAC/(DHCP assigned IP) combination. The controller, in the advanced feature menu , has a "music source" option which lists all SC's currently available on the local network. This allows the controller to point the SB that is currently being managed to anyone of the SC's available (thats how I understand it). Higher level protocols should take care of any session communications between the SB and the chosen SC. I think where the problem lies, is with the controller, I think it may have a tough time "jumping" between SC's? Particularly if the SC or the end SB requires a S/W upgrade. Can anyone comment on the communication exchange between the controller and the SC? Cheers, Have a great weekend everyone. -- sfraser 2 Chan.
