>From what I was being told at the time, over a year ago. You plug it into your network. Configure all machines to use it as their gateway. It will then make decisions regarding the next gateway or hop to use. Once the next hop is known it's directed there and traffic is not physically passing through their box? I have a similar setup where one of my routers knows how to get to a certain network via another router. When I make a request to the second network, my current router/gateway tells my machine how to get there. >From there the traffic is directed to that second router and network. Pretty much ignoring and passing little if any traffic through my original router/gateway. > I'm pretty sure that all the products out there require the traffic to pass > through them to perform the shaping, unless there's some deep voodoo out > there that I'm not aware of. It assume that their units can work either way? At the time they did not say traffic had to pass through their box. However most of SysMaster current diagrams except for one show traffic passing through their units? Not sure if things changed or someone mislead me. You know how sales men can be. Although I did speak with one of their engineers. I just do not remember who said what. I do not think there is any vodoo, just some proprietary routing logic? I would suggest shooting them and email asking how if it really matters. I sure wish a good spell or chant would get the job done. ;) -- Sincerely, William L.
