I also have some Sybase SQL servers on SERVERS network, which use
broadcasts to announce
themselves to the network. Before, when there were no separate
segments, everything worked fine
of course.
My question: is there any way to "proxy" (forward) broadcast
requests from USERS1 to the
SERVERS network? So the users in USERS* networks could find Sybase
SQL servers via broadcasts?
The simple answer is no: if you want subnet-local broadcast traffic to
be received, then your DB servers and your clients need to be on the
same subnet. Routers are designed and required to not propagate
broadcast traffic, although you could switch to doing bridging rather
than routing. Or, you could set up Sybase's SQL.INI to list all of
the databases you care about, if I recall correctly...
